Backstory

I took several shots of the thistle blooms in this grouping, one with Ursula in the background. I hope that one makes it to the Ursula blog.
The thistles were on the dam of a cattle tank (pond) we were camped beside. I never knew they could be so pretty. Just don’t step on one barefooted!

Yum! Cilantro.

Backstory

After walking Suna to her car to go to work, I decided to check on the plants. I found this guy happily munching on the volunteer cilantro that grows by the front crepe myrtle tree. We don’t eat enough cilantro to feel the competition, so I let him have at it.

Unfortunately, I’m not very good at figuring out what kind of bugs, worms, and crawlies I’m dealing with. So this guy will remain unidentified, at least for a while.

A Bit of a Redesign

I originally started dating these posts with the date I posted the pictures. I quickly realized the problems that would create. Since I’m choosing these photos as I find them in my collection, I could eventually wind up posting the same picture more than once. Sigh!

To keep that from happening, I’ve gone back and dated the few posts already in this blog to the date the pictures were taken. I’ve added a tag line at the bottom of each post (like the following paragraph) that shows when I posted. That should help place some context around the text.
