1986 movie... & 20 years ago!

Old Floppy Roses

Blog|Jump-Clix
~A rose is(n't just) a rose?... Cut those rose buds and bring them inside for you new bud vases! Save the peddles, too. The outer mixed color hybrid roses have no fragrance but the center floppy one... does! Most that man created after about 1885 lost their wonderful aroma. That makes the ones that still have the right genetic smells even more special... like that little imperfect darling in the middle! Humm? ~(:-_))-kfh
~ ps: The eggplant has big sharp thorns, too!

Up Side Down

~If that's me (and it is!) that little white triangle is under my lower lip. The white cap lookin' thing is my beard... I think? You know what that means__ I am upsidedown. The focal plane is not quite in the right place but I'm going post up with it anyway! ~(:-_))kfh

Infer-read Secret

~ Usually that strange center coloring indicates some kind of directional message to those little fly-by pollenators? I suspect there is lots more in a spectrum we don't see in... but I do not really know. The fun comes in for you to take a closer look and then make a guess___ I'm thinkin' like big long one-way pointers? So what do you think?

Courtyard Garden

~UPMC has a very special private garden across from the chapel. The bricks in the winding walkway have the names of so many people and the water garden has some really big goldfish. On this day, the pond was thawing quickly and the main doors were locked. I used a 45 degree angle very close to the glass and waited for one of those half frozen gold's to come up top for warmer water... never happened! The pretty fish were all staying tightly clustered__ right on the bottom.
~ I think they could see me. Thought I was a danger but next time I'll have... bread crumbs! ~(:-_))-kfh

Racetrack Eagle

~This most beautiful photo is also by my good friend Dave__ who I exercise with regularly. This most beautiful bird lives just a little South of the Datona Florida Racetrack. Dave had his camera with him while playing a vacation round of golf recently... so this is a free-standing telephoto & quick shot, which I really like!
~Those wide spaced Florida pine trees that give off such a delightful aroma also nest well for our national treasure of a bald eagle. These birds stack their new nests on top of last years old nest. These big preditors like to eat fish so this home must have the right sea-side combinations by the size of that nest! I can feel the coastal waters in that azere blue, cloudless of a back drop sky... just minuets as a bird flys South of old St. Augustine.
~I like to think that my Dad let me drive his new 1953 Ford on the beach right near this much younger tree. Back in the early days of Datona Beach auto racing, they raced on the hard sandy beach. I drove on that same beach for miles, sitting almost on top of my father... many times! We vacationed in St. Petersburg every Christmas back then and I don't think Dave knows about my little connection to his superb photo yet?
~This is one of those coinsidental things that makes me smile. Thanks Dave! It's another great photo, of your many. Oh, I forgot a another good part, Dave could hear the practice racecars roaring from where he stood to take this most memorable of digital photographs!

Frick & Frack

~Who are those two odd looking characters? Frick & Frack: "The Clack Brothers" did the voice-overs in my version of TurboTax this year. You know__ the automotive dudes on radio who take all those problem calls.

Clix-pix all:
~Now the problem here (two suckulent photos) is NOT ENOUGH ROCKS! They were looking good for my close-ups and as in recent transplants. I'm very sorry now that I did not get a good shot of the little chicks that appear on horizontal runners. That missing photo would explain the name much better... Hens & Chicks grow somewhat like strawberries do.
~ Oh well, neither above made it through the winter's cold and winds.

That's Me!

[clix pix]
~These tiny little ants shine like they are made of glass? Look close...
you can see my head with sun cap!
~That is blue sky with clouds going past__ in the reflection on the back of that witty-bitty. "That's me!"
