Hanging out over the sidewalk

First when I was on maternity leave, then when I was unemployed, I walked like 3 or 4 miles (and sometimes more) almost every day. Mostly around my neighborhood. One of my biggest pet peeves was people who didn't trim the plant matter covering the Sidewalks. Grass, bushes, shrubs, hedges, flowers, vines, anything green. I dreamed of passing out notes saying they were in violation of some municipal code or other and that they had to trim or pay a fine. Dreamed of it I tell ya!
However, now I am a violator. My Rose of Sharon gets a trim in the spring, but by the time it grows out in late summer I'm afraid to trim it because I'll trim all the blossoms off. And so, my Rose of Sharon is impeding progress of those unwary and unsuspecting pedestrians. To you, I apologize. Really. and when its done blooming, I will trim it!

Leaf Me Alone (part 2)

I love the colors of the Maple trees. Unfortunately the one in my front yard goes from green to yellow to brown in about 2 days. Ah well. I do have really nice Japanese Maple in the backyard.

Girly Girl Who Is A Girl

She isn't actually that girly - but she really looks like that here. Silly pouting Herself.

Curvaceous Cruiser


I love black and white photography. Bet you thought I wouldn't make it today - its 10:00 PM on the West Coast, and its almost my bed time. But I can't let my swell readers down, no way, no how.

Ex-Bridge

Bridge with an X. Every day when I'm driving home from work, I'm dying to pull over on the side of the road with my camera. Of course its a freeway so I'd probably get in trouble. But still, I'm trying to figure out how to get those shots.

Another Yellow Flower

I guess its really a cluster of yellow flowers. Nice tho, nice color.
