Sunday Sunset

 I snapped these yesterday evening; it was a lovely sunset that held a nice surprise.

 In order.

Balloons celebrating the sunset! Does it get any better than this?

An Unexpected Guest At the Table

 You might get unexpected guests when you have a salmon dinner. Our granddaughter is getting a dinnertime visit from her kitty Toodles.

A Real Lifesaver!

 My Lifesaver plant is blooming again, and I just had to show you! Yes, I have posted it before, but it is so amazing to me. Here is the plant.

And now, a closer look at the bloom!

They are a succulent. And of course their name is because the blooms look like Lifesavers candy.

Here is what the blooms start out looking like before they open. As you can see, there are a lot more!

Black & White

 These are real photos of rare creatures. I got them from the web, of course. First, an Albino Moose.

An albino Humpback Whale.

A Black Chinchilla.

Black Magic Petunias.

Black & White Dog.

Albino Giraffe.

Black Turtle.

Baby Zebra, not quite striped.

On Our Way Home

 Now we are on our way home from the Garden Center. Though only about a 15 minute trip, it is beautiful. It is run by old order Mennonites, so this is the sign you see at the entrance, both coming & going.

Once in the car, a couple quick shots of my purchases.

Everything is restless until it comes home.

The Inside

 Once you are inside the Garden Center, you will see these beautiful large plates in the entryway.

This looked very exotic to me. Turns out it is a Bromeliad.

This was a new one to me, and I don't know what it is.

I was enchanted with all their animal and insect flowerpots.
