Red Coleus

Many times we overlook the obvious.  Coleus are used a lot as filler plants.  They come in many colors of red/pink/yellow and green.  But a close up look shows the beauty of the ruffled leaves.

Roadside Mailboxes

The morning glories add a nice touch, but the road reflectors take away the charm of rural mailboxes.  I guess this is how the owners find their "turn off" in the dark.  But they might also serve as a warning to wild drivers to avoid the mailboxes (or serve as a target - you pick).

Restaurant Le Poulbo

My French isn't very good so I'm not sure what the name of this restaurant in the Montmarte district of Paris stands for.  But I love the charm of the area.  I bet it looked like this over 100 years ago when the Impressionists made this area their haunt.

Sunset in Tucson

Tuscon is known for it's beautiful sunsets.  Everything takes on a golden glow as the sun dips in the horizon.  It's a photographer's delight.

Fresh Blueberry Scones

We were the second ones in the gate at the spectacular Van Deusen Gardens in Vancouver, B.C.  But we were the first to arrive at the little coffee shack and our timing was perfect.  The counter girl was just taking these yummy scones out of the oven.  They were soooo good!

Waves of Petals

I never realized that rose petals resemble a cresting wave.  And this rose in full bloom is loaded.  A regular tempest of a storm type of waves.  "Batten down the hatches".

Anazasi Newspaper

I'm not sure exactly what the message is in this petroglyph but it looks to me that the horse on the left has been running in a figure eight, going nowhere, while the horse on the right is turning his back and heading out.  What do you think?
