Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens

I haven't posted to this blog in a while. Though I've taken tons of photos I haven't been able to do much visiting so I thought it only fair that I didn't post and draw comments and visits that I didn't have time to return. But I've missed posting my photos and I've got to do this for me so... I'm back and hope I find time to return any comments and visits that I get. These are from my visit to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens in Claremont, California.

Life at Bolsa Chica - Watery Wednesday

Wow, I haven't posted on this blog in a while. I don't have much time lately and my posting has been limited to my Watery Wednesday blog. But I took so many shots this weekend I needed to share them. Here goes...

Watery Wednesday #85

I went up to Bonelli Park tonight...well, by the time you see this it will be last night, just before sunset. I wasn't sure which of these to post on the main blog so I posted the rest of them here. There is just something very calm and relaxing which is why I love doing Watery Wednesday.




The one below isn't a water shot but I had to post it. I looked up and the graceful bird went soaring overhead.

Mellow Yellow Monday/Today's Flowers

I haven't been able to do much meme-ing lately. I've missed Mellow Yellow Mondays. I'm home waiting to get my garage door fixed so I've got a chance to catch some yellow this morning.


If I've got this right, this is a Fremotrodendron, also called Ken Taylor and California Glory. I've only seen these a couple of places. These photos were taken at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens. It's a huge place but not very visible from the streets as the entrance is almost tucked away behind Claremont College.




Visit Mellow Yellow Monday, the brightest meme on the internet, and brighten up your day.
