The yellow pear tomato plant apparently liked our hot weather.

In Your Face Iris!
I have no idea what this flower is called, or even if it is actually an iris, but it looks like some sort of iris and it obviously wants to be noticed. I couldn’t help but notice it while walking to the post office. There was a whole row of these tropical-looking plants right in front of the bowling alley, beckoning me to drop in for a mai-tai served in a tiki mug. I actually don’t know if they do that there, but they should!
I took dozens of photos of objects around the house with my DSLR, intending to use one as my photo of the day here, but I ended up deleting all of them in a fit of disgust, so this cell phone Instagram photo is doing double duty.
Best Exotic Marigold
Actually, I was taking a photo of the tiny bee on the marigold. It’s SO tiny! I thought it was a fly at first. I have no idea what kind of bee this is.
Don’t Bug Me… I’m Busy
I like an insect that is so focused it doesn’t care that there is a camera lens right on top of it – it makes my job easier.
Dandelion
After watering the garden I decided to take some closeups of calla petals, and on a whim snapped a couple of photos of the dandelions that are popping up around the yard (and probably the cause of my allergies). I loved the little curlicues in the middle of the flower – something I hadn’t noticed before uploading this photo.
Winter’s End
When the daffodils start blooming I know that winter is truly on its way out. I tried to get up close and personal with this one, but the gusty wind made it difficult.
What is it?
A trip to the farmer’s market today turned up this bunch of odd looking fruit. Yellow calamari? Squash blossoms? That face-hugger from “Alien”? Nope, just a variation of citron, “Fingered Citron”, which is also known as “Buddha’s Hand”. It smells wonderful.
