Daily Pics #33.
Hello everyone on this mid December Saturday! Muffin is at her usual lookout spot at the window after having her breakfast. Soon she will be wanting her morning playtime. Usually right when I am having my breakfast. And, of course, she wants me to join her playing. Oh well, eat and play, works for me. But first I will have to find her ball, which she has lost somewhere under a cabinet or my desk most likely. She broke another one, so she only has one left now. She hit the other one so hard that it broke when it bounced off my desk. Maybe that’s a hint she wants new ones for Christmas. Now if I could just find some pink ones. Oh well, time for our pics…
One last daffodil, with very pale yellow centers. These are also a bit bigger than the other daffodils. Quite beautiful to see in real life.
And now these beautiful white flowers that grow on a rather large shrub. I don’t know what they are, neither did my landlord. Apparently they have been around for a very long time.
Well, that’s it for today’s flowers, but there will be more tomorrow to brighten our day. I hope you all have a great Saturday and God bless!

Nature’s Art #7.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday and getting ready for a nice relaxing weekend. Well, maybe not too relaxing since we are getting close to Christmas and that means a lot of extra things to do. Lots of extra shopping. Lots of extra baking. But never lots of extra time. But hopefully you will have some time to sit back and unwind a bit from all the day’s activities. While we are doing that, let’s take a look at some more of that art found out in nature…
This seed head is from the yellow goat’s beard flower and is 2 and a half inches (6.5cm) across. It also stands over 2 feet (60cm) tall. Those seed heads have amazingly intricate designs in them.
The branches on these dead trees also provide amazing art against that beautiful blue sky background. Dead trees like this are an important part of a healthy forest ecosystem, providing food and homes to many different insects and birds.
There we have today’s selection for your enjoyment, more will be coming on Monday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
