Posing

Looking magnificent.

And looking at you.

The white tails don’t show when they’re perched, only when they’re flying.

Nature’s most perfect outdoor temperature.

Sit outside on the deck in the shade.  It’s comfortable.  A breeze comes up.  No wind chill at that temperature.  It’s still comfortable.  Nature’s most perfect, right?

Set the inside thermostat to 86 degrees.  OMG, that would be awful!

They got their winter pruning and they’re bouncing back just fine.

The Lantana.

The orange-flowered Esperanza.

Remember the Dwarf Texas Firebush; the one that forgot it was “dwarf”?

Well, it suffered a serious winter setback.  All the standing wood was dead.  It had to get trimmed back to the ground.

But look closely.  Recovery is on the way!

Now all the indoor foliage plants can live outside on the porch again for the rest of the season.

These things that separate us.  Are we liberal or conservative.  Are we black or white.  Are we gay or straight.  None of these are absolutes.  They each exist on a continuum from one to the other, and that’s what binds us all together.

Idealistic, yeah.  But from a cosmic perspective, yes.  True!
