It was one of three in a box that promised holiday blooms. The other two were gifts for others and burst forth in blossoms as predicted, but this one is a bit delayed. Its original shoots were damaged and dropped off, but new ones have arisen so, perhaps this one may eventually bloom as well.Continue reading “Little Red Rising Bulb”

Sun Near and Far
It’s winter here in the northern hemisphere, so the sun must be farther away, right? Wrong! As can be seen in the photo composite above, the sun looks smaller in the sky in July than it does in January because of the change of distance. Earth is over a million miles closer to the sunContinue reading “Sun Near and Far”
Frosty the Frog
This poor little frog sat immobile on the edge of the road, soaking up sun rays in hopes of getting warm enough to be able to hop again.

Funie Monday
I couldn’t suppress a chuckle when I saw this name, and I just had to take the photo. But learning is even better than laughing, so I did an internet search to discover the namesake of this road. It was named after William Jephunneh “Funie” Steed, a well-respected attorney who was also a military veteranContinue reading “Funie Monday”
