2. Another splendid collection, Peggy. The orange spiky flower is my favorite.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

As soon as I saw that flower, I knew I'd be bringing the image home! It's gorgeous.

31. Bottlebrush tree, right?

The callistomen growing in my backyard is my prized tree. I hope you keep that blossom going a long time

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. The Bottlebrush tree photo is the last photo in the lineup, my dear MadLinguist!

This tree is part of a hedge of Bottlebrush trees that are in the park where the farmer's market is held every week.

They are very hardy and do well with minimal care. I had not seen them blooming before today.



Mousetoescamper was talking about a different flowering plant.

A fine collection! Not sure what that is in the second picture but I want it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

It's a little cake (I think) with frosting and brown sugar on top.

I really shouldn't eat stuff like that, so I normally don't.

[Clouds Passing]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

It's too important to miss.

I did have a good time and I felt well.

39. Awesome as always. What is that "keyhole" object in the first photograph? The colors are

amazing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Thanks very much, my dear LoisB!

The keyhole object: Twice a year, the sun sets exactly opposite the structure. The dates are displayed on a metal plaque at the base.

People line up to snatch a photo while this is happening.

The colors looked especially bright and vivid this morning, so I photographed it!

[LoisB]

44. It is an amazing photograph. I am so glad you share your talent with us.
