I know you are from the US, but i thought banksias are only in Australia. So maybe you went there or i guess there are gardens in the US planted to plants from other countries. I miss this banksia, and your shot is so lovely. You love poems, but i love photos more! haha

Andrea, Yes I live in San Francisco, California. I work at the botanical gardens where we have twenty six different gardens from around the world so I am surrounded by trees, plants and flowers from all over the world. That's where all of these flower photos come from. Glad you like them.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
