Hi everyone and I hope you are having a wonderful Father's Day and a wonderful Sunday! It is beautiful here in Florida today..sunny, but not quite as hot as it has been. I had to take a little walk out in the garden to see what was in bloom. I saw a lot of weeds which have sprung up overnight. We have been getting lots of rain lately.
My small crape myrtles are full of blooms. I think this one needs some trimming and shaping up later. Right now I don't want to cut off those beautiful blooms.
Here is a view of the front yard with the two huge Live Oak trees that are well over 100 years old. They are full of Spanish moss, which doesn't seem to hurt them. After a storm, you should see the yard scattered with Spanish moss that has blown out of the tree. Then there is some clean up to do!
Here is my flock of Flamingos...not real: they are the plastic sort. I just had to put them out for a while! What would Florida be with plastic Flamingos? They are so retro looking!
I have two old plows in the garden and they really need a bit of a repair and some paint. Maybe in the Fall I will do that when it is cooler!
Just Zinnias!
Here is a look at a little demo painting I did for my painting class. Looking down at some colorful rocks and what could be more exciting than finding a brilliant red feather.! Hope each of you has a happy day.

I like your pink flamingos. Your zinnias look great. I just planted zinnias grown from seed outside - they are 2 to 3 inch tall seedlings. I hope I get nice flowers like yours. I love your red feather painting!
