An Osprey (I think) waiting for breakfast to present itself.
My latest foray into the world of gardening is "Holiday Cactus".
Meaning Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter Cactus....all different species and genera depending on who is doing the nomenclature.
I decided to set the nomenclature aside for now and focus on what varieties I am growing....and their flower color. Easier that way!
I have the Thanksgiving Cactus that was in Mom's assisted living room, given to her by a family member. It's been blooming nicely. But I also purchased some unrooted cuttings and some rooted cuttings....all different varieties.
The more I'm around people the more I like my plants!

My wife has a couple of these plants - Thanksgiving and Christmas, IIRC - in our screened lanai. They seem to be in a sweet spot for sun and water because they are massive plants now and quite beautiful.My latest foray into the world of gardening is "Holiday Cactus".

my boy the wannabe actor in Inverness, Scotland about 8 hours ago.
For those who don’t know, you see these exact same views from the exact same spot if you just turn 180 degrees. And yes - it IS the Harry Potter train for those of you saying “that looks like…”
outside my hotel window after a fresh snowfall in Newtonmore, Scotland.
Was at Home Depot today to get a duplicate key for my Silverado. Just for the doors, because I just changed out the ignition assembly and so now have two different keys, but in the process I realized I didn't have a spare for the doors - so now I do.
While there.....I noticed they were selling nice fresh Mum and Daisy flowers for only $5 per bunch. I grabbed one to give to the ladies at the storage place where I have some storage units because they've been so helpful to me with various things.
I went in and caught them on their golf cart inside the facility and when I gave them the flowers was told it was one of their birthdays! Oh man......what timing huh?
They really are super nice and super helpful and probably should get flowers more often.
When you are wondering what to get someone to show your appreciation - hard to beat a nice bunch of fresh flowers. And a card with them never hurts!

Last night and yes - we went up into it.
Outstanding shot.
I've photographed that tower on several occasions over the past 25 years or so, but I've never managed a shot like that. Well done. .

It's the third Saturday of the month, so that means (if my wife is not working) we will take my MIL and visit the farmers market in our neighborhood. Always fun to support some of the local mom-and-pop entrepreneurs ...
... listen to live music ...
... and be entertained by the play of children and puppies.

Houston this morning
There was a blizzard warning east of Houston over into the Lake Charles area this morning. First time for one of these on the Gulf Coast.

We lived in Pasadena (TX) late fifties/early sixties. Somewhere in that time period there came a big snow. I was told later that it was a big deal for that area. I had no reference, but my memory is that it came up to my 3 year old knees.
