One more thing, whoever came up with this new Blogger post editor needs to have their head examined.  It's terrible and will take twice the time it would normally take to format the posts.

Beautiful. The first looks so velvety soft and the second so feathery soft. I just want to reach out and touch them :)

I love the second one, Veld Fire. I hope everyone enlarges it to get the full effect.

The second one reminds me of curls of ribbon...and I've always loved irises - matched with yellow roses ( if anyone ever asks what kind of flowers to send me, tell them that, please, Jo! ). It's funny, I've come to recognize that Matilija Poppy.

Kala, thanks, the veld fire is so exciting to see in person.

Squirrel, yeah it is unique.

Nancy, The Japanese iris is gorgeous. Thanks.

Carmen, I know you love those yellow Roses. At Divine on the 12 and 13th you should steal a couple from Jim when he brings them for Sony :)

LD, Irises are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. They are just so lush and beautiful. Thanks.

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. For more cute critters, click the above widget.
