A Bird, A Bug & A Bouquet
Well, we had a real sunset tonight, so that will be a separate post a little later. Here’s the representatives of daytime today . . .
Later tonight I will have some sunset photos to share.

Bye to My Garden for a Few Days
The Yellow Bells have started blooming and maybe the Triquitraque will be when I return with two little blooms already. My stone indigenous guard will watch over all while I’m gone! 🙂 It is always a pleasure to return to my own garden, a different pleasure than the adventure of travel. I love both!
African Tulip Tree
There are several African Tulip Trees (Wikipedia Link) in Roca Verde which I have highlighted before with their bright orange flowers, but the one on the hill above me is such a bright spot, it is hard to not keep featuring it! 🙂 Another sign that summer is beginning.
Wild Poinsettia Tree?
Or maybe just a big cousin? 🙂 I passed this tree walking home from town this morning and it certainly made me think of poinsettias, though you can see that the bloom is a little different from the typical Christmas flower – though similar! 🙂 Online blooms like these were labeled “Wild Poinsettia.” Either way, they are categorized as shrubs or small trees.
Merry Christmas!

Flowers on Walk
Just 4 flowers that I liked on my walk this morning down “Shady Lane.” This flatter walk doesn’t have the vistas of the hill yesterday, but some nice close-ups! 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Chisos Banded Skipper
The last of the butterflies it seems, this common skipper is still flitting about my garden. 🙂
