Mesmerizing Poinsettia




















I was walking thru the Brunos Grocery Store and spotted the most unearthly poinsettias ever !! Barbarella Poinsettias for sure. Talk about impulse sale...ten bucks of outer limits vegetation. The colorful bracks in this variety are really beautiful as it is, the colors vary from pink to mauve to purple to plum but all over it is Aurora Borealis glitter !! Totally Irresistible. And it winks at me from all corners of the room. You simply must click on the top photo to see the big version in all its glory in case you can't find one of these at your local grocery. My buying it had nothing to do with Christmas--I'd have bought it no matter WHAT.

Very unusual, and so Lundy -

Lundy,

This must be in response to our new organization, Christians Rebelling Against Poinsettias, or CRAP. Just ready for all the craziness to end. Don't drive anywhere near Laurelwood until Christmas is over. If you're up this way. Maybe we'll use the mesmerizing poinsettia as a background when we do our glamour shots during my visit. It kind of goes with the sweater Michael Dell sent me. I'm sure the glitter will cast a lovely light on our supple faces!!

Do You Know This Plant?

Image
I photographed this small weeping shrub in Pensacola in a front yard. The purple flowers and orange berries were present at the same time on this georgous plant. The same yard had some of the same species but with white flowers that were not nearly as vibrant. It looked great in spite of a very dry summer and it is planted close to salt water. I have been doing online searches trying to identify this plant to no avail. Click to see big photo

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Miller's Birthday Today

Image
Today would have been Miller's 26th B'Day. Here are some birthday photos from his 11th and his 15th birthday and a few others. In one he has on some of his Grandaddy's vintage Lily Pulitzer pants. In another he was so proud of the size of the catfish that he caught that he was holding the cat for size comparison. He only bleached his hair once. He walked into the room with the cat and put it on his head, but it didn't work out as planned and I always thought it was one of the funniest photos of him I ever took. Miller was the most brilliant, funny, charming, thoughtful, & loving person I have ever known. He was finishing up Grad School and had every pilot's certification possible for his age when he died. There is no telling what he would be doing today had he lived. We all miss him so.
