The Daily Pic - Moss Roses

Pin It
Moss Roses - I love these bright, cheerful flowers, whose blooms open every morning to the sun and close up every evening...waiting to open again the next day.


Here I go getting artistic....  :)

The Daily Pic - Mexican Petunia

Pin It
Here are a few pictures I took of a Mexican Petunia.  I love this flower.  It's beautiful, it's strong, it's hardy and it's difficult to kill...but at the same time, it's delicate, it's blooms sometimes only lasting for 1 day.  Kind of like some people.  Resilient when necessary but still sensitive on the inside.

The Daily Pic - Mystery Succulent

Pin It I bought this small, mystery, succulent at a garage sale last year...I have no idea what it is.  However, 1 year later, and I now have at least 20 new plants growing.  It's unusual looking and I like it.  If you have any idea what it is, please leave a comment and let me know!

The Daily Pic - A Walk After the Rain

Pin It Here in Central Florida we have about one more month before the "rainy" season is over.  For some reason, the end of a shower or thunderstorm inevitably seems to draw me outside with my camera.  Here are a few pictures that were taken on such a day.


Peering through the leaves of a Bird of Paradise plant.


Raindrops on Orchids.  I love these flowers!
I feel so blessed to live in a place where they bloom year round!


A Maple tree, the leaves of which, are heavy with rain drops.


The delicate shoots of Coleus in bloom.


Reflection in a puddle.


On this particular afternoon, Roman joined me for my walk.


I love how the rain makes everything green again!


Sometimes life is hard...we should take a lesson from this little plant.
Thrive - whatever your circumstances...
even if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place
...or in this instance a brick.


And last, but certainly not least...my favorite picture from this particular day.  Raindrops on a fern.  Why do I like it so much?
I'm not sure, I just know that I do.

Roman's Senior Pictures

Pin It My dog Roman...he's getting up there in age.  This coming December he will be 12, which means that right now, as of June 2011, he is just over 80 years old (in dog years.)  Since the life expectancy of a Labrador is 10 - 12 years, I am faced with the truth that he could pass away at any time.  With this in mind, I figured we should do a senior picture photo shoot...




As with any senior picture photo shoot, we took several different poses...


And of course, half way through the photo shoot, he needed a bathroom break, so during that time, I took some pictures of the scenery...



After his break, we got a few more shots...




Another break to stretch his legs....which meant more scenery pictures for me...


One important piece of information that you can't tell from these photos is that Roman does NOT like to have his picture taken...if you notice, in almost every picture, he is looking away from the camera.  I am not sure why he is like this, but he has always been this way.  When he was younger and I would take his picture, he would actually jump up and bark ferociously at the camera....now he just looks away...


After about 35 pictures were taken, this was the look he gave me...which I took to mean, "Enough is enough! Don't make me come over there and bite you..."


...which would be difficult for him anyway, since somehow he is missing his two front teeth.  But I figured that I had harassed him enough for the day and made that his last pose.  :)
