Friday Night Photos Garden Edition

Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.

It was an uneventful week here in the lower left. Mostly gray overcast skies. We did see the sun for a few hours Wed afternoon and yesterday morning. Also got a little bit of rain overnight three times this week. The price of gas has held steady at $5.79 where I fill up but I have noticed other stations have gone over $6. Some are closing in on $6.50. On the bright side ground beef was $1 a pound less than the last time I was at the grocery store. A small economic victory but I'll take my victories wherever I can get them these days.

Some more sights from the San Diego Botanical Garden.

Nice gardens you have in the lower left. If I were a bee I'd be frolicking in the glowing white fluffy blossoms. I will try to identify the tree, it's beautiful in the light you captured. That looks like a guava fruit, which has been producing here. I've been enjoying guava jelly from a friend.

Some photos from my local beach this week ...

Enjoy and be well all

Thanks for sharing your local beach scenes. The shot of the sprawling
tree branches is pretty amazing. Makes me want to do some climbing.

Reminded of the Charleston Plantations.

With enough force and wind in swinging on a trunk you can land in the water, which the Pohutakawa tree is formed by ; ).

Thanks for the beautiful beach scenes. That first shot of the trees and picnic bench is fabulous. I'd definitely be hanging that one on a wall in my house.

I'm trying to figure out how to use Flickr, without much success. I need a tutorial from you.

I'd be happy for you to print it if I knew how to send a digital copy at a high resolution.

a half a dozen years since I set up my Flickr page. The only thing I remember about setting it up was what a pain in the ass and how unfriendly user Flickr was.
Not a tutorial, but a link to Flickr's help page. Hopefully it will be able to help you get your Flickr page set up.

Especially like the spider web. Have always had a
fascination with their ability to weave a gotcha net
overnight. When the sun hits the silk in the morning
shimmering the dew, it is a mini universe come alive.

We have a local gal who has a good eye for capturing
landscapes. This one came out last week.

We have a topiary garden nearby. Your image of the plant people reminded me of this.

Some creative trimming involved here. Known as the Green Animals Topiary Garden.

Home to more than 80 topiary animals and other figures for more than a century,
Green Animals also blazes with colorful flowers from May until October.
The 7-acre property overlooks Narragansett Bay in Portsmouth RI.

You live in such a beautiful corner of the world. I love that you share it here. It's always a treat for me to recall its beauty. The green animal topiary overlooking Narragansett Bay looks so inviting for all ages.

Thanks

thanks for your neighbors view of the local landscape. That topiary garden looks like a great place to visit.
