Amaryllis Belladonna

They just bloom from a bulb in dirt. (Well, some other factors in there, but humble beginnings...like most living things I guess). 

 

Chicory?

 

Standing all proud with purple flowers. Chicory? Not common around here. 

Bobcat with Bunny for Breakfast

 

Early walk, trail quiet at that point. Woman with a big camera was pursuing bobcat from behind, so, he walked relatively calmly ahead...right in front of me on the trail. Quite an up close view, though my eyes and my cell is what I had to take it in. 

(same as "up closer" version on top)

Running in the background

Geez, wonder how it would feel if we had a counter for every second we had on planet...uga, maybe like a countdown.  Discovered I was measuring a lap...for 39 days. 

 

Rookie attempt, but attempted - Decoration for cheesecake

 

For birthday of sis-in-law, attempted face of her newest to family...slight melt of candy, moved it around with spoon on parchment paper, with outline below on paper. The mixed black/tan hair is particularly bad on the candy rendition, but sometimes trying is better than holding back until get it right/not doing at all. . She loves her dog -- let's hope love is a little blind.  Happy Birthday Jennifer!

Lots of flowers for July

Just moist enough to have many wildflowers prosper on new to me hike in Lagunitas.....Coliumbine, California Indian Pinks, loaded Western Azalea, and several more.
