Another June Sunset


Almost missed this one - we were watching a movie and I got up to get a beverage and noticed it....ran to put some shoes on and grab my camera.  Thank goodness for the pause button!

Necklaces



I purchased a new necklace holder awhile back - and I love seeing how the hanging necklaces turn into interesting shapes and colors when photographed close-up!

Black Velvet Petunia


Black flowers are very rare.  I saw this basket of petunias in a nursery when we picked up some plants for our yard.

Two Backyard Birds

Oriole at the hummingbird feeder
Orioles don't seem to stay around, but we see them a couple of times a year on their way to wherever they like to hang out.

California Quail
The quail have paired up - we'll be looking for babies soon.  The male will look out for danger as the female look for food.
