This divided collector roadway is part of a project that Mike McRoberts worked on for Sear-Brown in Fort Collins, Colorado. This roadway was complicated to design because it contained raised medians, traffic circles, concrete crosspans, detached sidewalks, and varying width road sections used for traffic calming.

The odds are against it on this San Jose road, but still, the thistle insists on growing in conditions that are working against it. And not only does it grow, it appears to be thriving.

New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.
This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.
I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.
It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -
All of them had the finger print.
I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.
I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.
The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.
Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,
including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"
There are still a few of last season's leaves that hang in there until they are sure the new generation is well on its way. :) (Due to this delayed spring, I understand their persistence!)
the beginning of the 3 hour trek to the village where m grew-up. this old lady was there when we started, and at least 4 hours later when we started heading back she was still on her way!
I'm not sure how this tree ended up growing in a concrete pipe. Was the pipe standing up originally? Leaning on something?
At this point the roots are cracking the concrete at the bottom...
