A Bit Of Armor

 We saw this car awhile ago. Look at the huge spikes on the tires! I wonder what kind of a person drives it. It would be funny if it turned out to be a little old lady.

The Net

 Last week, we watched our granddaughter Dara's tennis match between two high schools.


She takes after Phil and her dad, and is a good tennis player. I thought I got some good action shots through the fence.



The official photographer (I am assuming) sat for the longest time taking shots through the fence holes. 


Dara's mom & dad sat on the other side of the fence.



And so it goes on a chilly weekday tennis tournament.

Sunday Sunset

 This was this evening's sunset. I just snapped it a few hours ago.



You can see the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background





As we drive away, you can see it reflected in the windows and side of the car.

Blue Sparks In the Grass

 Yes, I know I have recently posted the Persian Speedwell in our yard. But I just could not help myself, I had to post it again. They are still blooming in the yard, and spreading all over. The flower is tinier than your little fingernail!





“Speedwell is spring’s confetti, tossed early and gently.”

On My Knees

 I will not be blogging here on Friday because I am going to get the nerves killed in my knee. Called Radio Frequency Ablation. I leave you with a laugh!

It's A Boy!

 I noticed that the front yard goose was wearing a new outfit, so we drove by to see. And there was much to see. The front yard was decorated to announce the birth of a baby boy! I had not seen this done before.

Pear-Bonding

 Today we were running some errands and happened to drive down "The Avenue Of Trees". This is a highway that has pear trees all along it. They were not quite in full bloom, but pretty enough for me to snap as we drove.





There are only ten minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat.
