All I know is the air is filled (along with my nasal passages) with the by-products of indiscriminate & casual plant sex right now.

Not to mention, a trip outside smells not unlike the interior of a porn peep show booth (not that I would know what that's like) :shrug:

Our fair town was honored this weekend by having a traveling, one-half scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC brought here for people to see. It was truly impressive and along with the wall, a Huey helicopter was here along with many photos and memorabilia from the war years.

I've attached just a few of the photos to share with you.

The people in charge were very pleased. They indicated that they basically had a constant crowd of 200-400 people passing through the exhibit all weekend long with a large crowd of more than 400 today for a special closing ceremony.

Here's a picture of the Mendocino coast line, where I went to spend a couple of days on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

Here's one of the beach I spent the afternoon reading and relaxing...it was a grand time

Absolutely beautiful.............. and I don't just mean the scenery, the photographer is a very nice sight as well. :nod:


Oh god, I hope you took these and not Mr. Osuche. :p

Looks like it would've been difficult not to enjoy the stay there.

Osuche, those pictures are fantastic. The scenery is terrific! :thumbs:

All that section of coast needs is a few miles of golden beaches.

Wild Flowers
 

Did my morning walk this morning and took a few of some of the wild flowers I saw. Thought I'd share them with you.

Here's three old barns
 

Old barns are a favorite subject with me and I took pictures of three on my way home after the walk.

When I got home, I took a few of flowers around the house. I gotta tell ya, the lilacs smell wonderful!!! :)

Very pretty, our countryside is fading to brown as the dry sets in.

With all this rain, I suspect the mushroom hunters are thrilled at their prospects. :boink:

The wild weather didn't offer any picture opportunities?

We actually dodged the bullet on the worst of the weather and just got a little rain. I even mowed the yard today. :)

I did find one of my favorite pictures from last year ... so I'll share it in lieu of the wild weather.

This was taken by my brother while he was on an aircraft carrier on his way to Iraq. If I can find them, I will post more pics of the troops.
