Roll Me Away

Well, since it IS Halloween I thought we needed to see a few more pumpkins.

Linus: [to Sally as she walks away with everyone else] Hey, aren't you going to wait and greet the Great Pumpkin? Huh? It won't be long now. If the Great Pumpkin comes, I'll still put in a good word for you!
[realizes what he just said]
Linus: Good grief! I said "if"! I meant, "when" he comes!
[calmly]
Linus: I'm doomed. One little slip like that could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass you by.
[calling out]
Linus: Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?

Rollin'

I looked over and there was a perfect sea of orange.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

Well-Worn Moccasin

These moccasins look like they've danced in many Pow Wows. Did you notice the large jingle bell toward the end of the moccasin?

Two Poppies

Even if you only find 2 poppies surrounded by dirt, it can look like a painting.

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world."

Blue Skies and Poppies

I love looking at poppies up close. They're so fragile, it's like you wonder how they survive in the harsh environment of the desert. That's the reason that there aren't many years like this. If it gets too hot once they bloom they die. There have been many years when I could only find a plant or two. The poppies are like me, they don't like the heat!

Poppy Bouquet

More poppies today! A natural bouquet for you!

Poppy Time

I think that for the next few days I'll post some of my favorite poppy pictures that I've taken this year.

Antelope Valley 2010

We were very fortunate as it was a beautiful spring in the Antelope Valley this year. We saw orange everywhere. Looking over the large fields and towards the mountains the view was stunning. I never get tired of this sight. It seems that this only happens every 5 or 6 years.

"Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day."
