Today while organizing my photos, I came across this one I’d taken last week at the Zilker Botanical Garden in Austin, Texas.
Later I found this photo which I’d taken in a Mission Viejo park.
After finding several more photos of stairs, I began thinking about my fascination with stairs. Continue reading
I’ve been doing a lot of sightseeing lately. I took this photo at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens when I traveled there early last week.
I took the second photo in Santa Monica, California on a photography field trip later that same week.
I’m in Austin Texas this week visiting our son and daughter-in-law. These beautiful sun flowers were waiting for me when I arrived. This has certainly been a time of travel for me and I’m loving it.
We have an abundant cherry tomato crop. I love growing cherry tomatoes. In July I wrote a post titled, Why You Should Grow Cherry Tomatoes, and as you can see, the plants are still producing, and we’re reaping the benefits of my small tomato garden. I was late getting them planted, but we’re still having warm sunny days and fairly warm nights, so they are still doing well. Next year I’ll plant more, and earlier. I love having freshly picked tomatoes to top a salad. The wonderful thing about gardening, is enjoying the beauty of the present, and looking forward to the future, whether it’s to grow flowers or veggies.
I was invited to take part in a photography challenge by our daughter-in-law. I love photo challenges and definitely wanted to join in. On Sept 1st we were to take a selfie, and here I am taking a selfie of myself taking a selfie. Yesterday’s challenge was journaling. Continue reading
A colorful walk in Chula Vista fulfilled one of my main goals for Plum Bird Corner, which is to fill it with colorful photos. We’ve just arrived home from an enjoyable stay at the Chula Vista RV Resort. On one of my walks in search of colorful subjects I spotted the above Chevy truck from Texas. It certainly is colorful. I spoke to the owners who were from Dallas, and they were flattered when I asked permission to photograph their pride and joy.
Later on the same walk I spotted these gorgeous roses. They became subject number two. They were so beautiful, especially next to the white picket fence.
Subject number three, was San Diego Bay. It’s not bright in color, but the clear water sparkled from the sun and sand. The RV park is next to the bay and I love being able to walk so close to the water. We really had a good trip, but it is always nice to be home.
