Hi all
I enjoyed everyone's comments on yesterday's post...,
Like many, I thought it looked like a pelican or seagull (with a thought cloud)
I missed Loweho's visual, perhaps it's just as well, hehehe.

Here's some more blooms from Descanso Gardens,

 White14
 Pink touch
Hot, hot
Tiny buds
Pink faced
Delicate yellow
Colorful crowd
Pure white
Pink petals
Not like the others
Like butterfly wings

I have always liked flowers, but now they are reminders of my mother, even before she passed away (last summer). She would pluck a flower and while looking at it would say "I have to believe there's a God, look how beautiful, how perfect, this is"

I find myself saying the same thing when I take pictures, look into little faces and yes, when I look at flowers.

Hi All
Here's today's post..,

Boys are Stupid

I was at the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles and I walked into this cartoon art gallery right after I snapped this shot.

P/S, Don't hate on me, I love the opposite sex!

Hi All,

Here's today's installment for the challenge;

Suddenly, the water Ripples
Did you here that, O bouy, what's that?
It an Alien
He's visiting our World
He's dreaming of Paradise
He sees baskets reflecting in the Shiny Red Vehicle, how can he get his hands on that?

Regards,
Mima

P/S to Dirkbag;
My artist/musician friend, Brett Caplinger, used some of my photos for one of his paintings & submitted his paintings at the OC Fair last year. He's still getting press for his work. I'm just thrilled to have been part of it.
