Today during my lunch I sat in the sun next to these flowers.
What kind of flowers? I don’t know… But they are pretty flowers.

It was a hot hot day at the Arboretum on August 7, 2012
I hope this warms you up on this cold day today!
Christy gave me beautiful flowers on my birthday December 17 and on this day they are still thriving.
They must be magic flowers.

The Huntington Gardens had another plant sale this weekend. I didn’t want to miss out!
These are my new buddies.
Echinopsis hybrid x 2… Those are the ones with pink flowers.
Mint julep, white flowering rosemary, and Italian parsley.
These echinopsis hybrids were very popular! I took home two! Tom was very helpful and knowledgeable about the care of these beautiful cacti.
After my excursion with the plant sale, I explored the gardens.
The beauty and grandeur always capture me.
The squirrels were loving all the attention too.
I fought for this photo. They were closing up and the security guys were telling us it's time to leave. I was waiting for this little guy to go into the sun, for the perfect moment. And I told the guys "there are other people behind me, I just want to get this photo." And they gave me a stern look. Meanwhile the lizard crawled into the sun. So I said to the guys "Hey, he's in the sun now. Can I take a photo of him in the sun?" And they *sighed*. Eventually they left because there was a call about a girl getting a bee sting, so they went to attend to that I think. So, I got this shot. Perfect
Micki and Tim departed LA and I followed them for the first leg of the journey.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
But a camera couldn’t even capture my whole heart.

A friend commented on my photos one day,
“Diana, you see so many wonderful things! I see the same s*** every day!”
I said to him,
“You need to keep your head up and look around. If you keep your head down and look at the ground, of course you see the same s*** every day!”
Keep your head up.
There is so much to see and experience.
So much to be thankful for…
Every day.
