I went to town today and dropped by a book store. I don't read much nowadays and when I do I go for books with lots of pictures and little text. I seldom finish a book and when it's utterly dull I read it backwards. One of my favorite shelves would be labelled "Pets" and "Dogs". I would go for chapters like "Barking Nine To Five" or "Chewing Inappropriate Items". It says wait for your dog to quiet down and then reward it. I tried that with Coco and after feeding her a bit of titbit she waited for more. None. She got the idea. She went outside to bark again. I called and she sat nicely in front of me so she got another goodie. No more? Okay, I'll go outside and bark again.....:(
The recent hot and dry spell and the sudden rainfall that ended it has forced the trees to flower. And I mean trees, not shrubs or bushes or smaller plants.
These golden showers are rather lasting. They have been around for a couple of weeks. I drive past them twice a day and I always tell myself - get a picture before they fade!
The color of these flowers just gladdens my heart. They come in beautiful pink and purple.
I don't even know their names.
This huge blossom hung very low so I didn't have to climb the tree to get this photo!
