A day to honor those who served. John, Bill, Walt, Bruce, Dale, Wes, and so many more. There doesn't seem to be words big enough.
Thank you for your service.
This historical building in Alviso has a little mystery to it. Sometimes I saw an old man getting in and out of the building in the front. He drove a Mercedes E class sedan. There is a red cross in front of the building and there is also one above the side door as shown here. I wonder if this is a place for worship or for confession. There is a statue of a catholic priest on its sideyard toward to my right in this photo. So I can tell this is religious and proably related to Roman Catholic. I have not seen anyone else going in and out of the building. The whole compound has been fenced off to the public with a private property sign in the front. Is this some kind of Knight Templar secret society? Would someone step forward and confess below in the comment section? I would like to solve the mystery.

I don't like to shoot thru glass [ window- triple pane] but knew these birds would fly off if I cracked the window open.
I am getting caught up with all my work so hope to be around more in a few days. Hope your weekend was a good one. Another pix below in comments.
Song Sparrow, Melospiza melodia
We took a hike to Del Valle Regional Park earlier this evening to look for some acorns for the baby blue jay in our sideyard. We found some on the ground underneath a couple of oak trees. But most were gone already as the woodpeckers have been busy at work to store their acorn supplies. On our way back to the trailhead, this hill came into our view. I think Summer is finally here.
From a dream. My mother and I sitting/kneeling in driveway. My sister emerges from the house and then some neighbors run through the sideyard and out onto the street.

I found this beauty in the grass next to my neighbor's lantana.

Look what came in the mail today!!
I had seen this on Kellifornia's stream and admired it, of course! And today it was patiently waiting for me in my mailbox.
What a doll!!
I LOVE it!
We had moved into this house a few months before and this sideyard was just ground cover and weeds, which the gardener cleaned up. We hadn't planted anything yet so it was a huge surprise when this abundance of poppies burst into bloom! Friends and neighbors kept coming over to get clippings. I'll add this journaling on the right side in the morning when my hands are up to it.
These beautiful tiny blooms are so colorful and detailed, yet hard to find.. Had to post another view.
Cut-leaf Philodendron (a.k.a. Tree Philodendron, Selloum, Self-header; Philodendron bipinnatifidum) - Sideyard, Titusville, Florida
"Sweet 16" ?
Well it seems it takes 16 years for these guys to reach adulthood, and come into bloom. So since this is the first year I've seem any blossoms on this Philodendron I presume it must be sixteen years old.
This guy is a real beast with leaves 5 - 6 feet in length from stem to leaf-tip, and the flower is about the size of my head.
So, tra-la la-la la Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen,
and enjoy those fruitful years ahead!
Note: The Tree Philodendron is native to
Paraguay and southeastern Brazil.
Imagine my surprise and delight to see all these huge shaggy inkcap mushrooms at my veterinary clinic property today. I ran home and got my macro lens. A few hours later, their landscaper mowed them all down.
