I am amazed. I can't say anything more!

Griffith Observatory

It has no feathers, beak, blooms, fur or flowers but I just wanted to include a photo I took of the massive telescope in the Griffith Observatory. I wanted to give particulars about it but I found very little online to share. So until tomorrow,

Cone Flowers

These are Cone Flowers. I have seen them before but not often. They come in a variety of colors and are a showy flower. I'm not very fond of the pink and rust colors together, but they did catch my eye. I think I'll add some to my garden when I return. But I'll try to find yellow.

Orchids

At the Pasadena Arboretum where I visited on Tuesday, there is a tropical area in an enclosed space where the temperature and moisture can be kept perfect for the growth of orchids. It was my favorite section. I have two orchids at home that are hanging by a thread. I'm inspired now to do a better job of caring for them. The orchid blooms last sometimes two months.

An S Car Go on the sidewalk!

Once again on the way to breakfast I encounter a rather odd fellow. Fortunately this one was still in the land of the living. Snails are mollusks because they have shells. I had mistakenly thought that slugs were snails but they are not. Why? Because they don't have shells. Snails have been around since the beginning and have survived because they are so adaptable to their surroundings and don't require a lot of food.

Why do snails leave a trail of slime? You might ask. The secretion of slime helps them to travel over all terrains without injury to their underside. Who knew?

Weird bug

We're on vacation in LA and I'm hoping to gather some wonderful pictures to share. For today, the only thing so far is this beetle we saw on the sidewalk on the way to breakfast. I haven't seen one like it before. There are over 400,000 species of beetles and more are being discovered. 40% of all insects are beetles. This one is a 10 lined June Bug. Pretty cool to look at. Unfortunately he was deceased.

A New Bunny in Town

We have a new bunny hopping around our neighborhood.  Just wanted to share this picture with you.  Isn't he a cutie? And he's not afraid at all!

Tomorrow, I'll be scouting for beautiful things in California.  We've planned a trip to the L.A. Botanical Gardens and the Zoo, so I know I'll find some wonderful things.

Til Tomorrow, Tweetles,
