Five and Flowers today...
A short walk through the woods at Hans Suter Reserve. I was really dazzled by the dancing shadows and sunlight dapple along the path. I spied a hummingbird flitting from blossom to blossom, along with a green anole on a fallen tree limb. Oh, and "What can make that little ol' ant think he can move that honeysuckle plant. Tho it's not a 'true' honeysuckle, this is named Cape Honeysuckle [a native plant of South Africa].

Leonard: I'm just saying, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Sheldon: You catch even more with manure, what's your point?

October 21st, Bud and I moved to the Texas coast....12 years ago.

Anni: "I made some iced tea!"
Bud: "No thanks, I don't want any."
Anni: "I didn't make any for you, tho."
Bud: "Then, why did you mention 'iced tea' in the first place?"
Anni: "Just to start a conversation. It worked!"
....the end

Q: What kind of cheese is made backwards?
A: Edam.

Baseball...
Does it disturb anyone else that “The Los Angeles Angels” baseball team translates directly to “The The Angels Angels”? The owners got wise...renamed the team Anaheim Angels!!
Hello Anni!:) Such lovely captures!:) Your dappled shade scenes are beautiful,..with the light highlighting the gorgeous colours of the Honeysuckle. Hummingbirds, lizard, and even the ant, enhance the beauty of your pictures, and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, with the bonus of Five on Friday, which made me smile.:))
ReplyDeleteThank you...I'm so glad you stopped by and enjoyed this.
Delete...and what is that orange beauty?
ReplyDelete...as I stated above, they're Cape Honeysuckle.

Love that hummer picture, and the honeysuckle sure is attracting him. You sure do have a good sense of humor, Anni. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like humor!! rofl.
DeleteThanks D J
Orange blossoms are stunning. The third down just below the ant picture I see a tiger hiding in the bushes. Love all the bright sunshine and brilliant colors. Also love Sheldon in anything he says. Haha ways to start a conversation. When I read your comment about the date I realized today my dad would have been 103 it's his birthday thanks
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, my dad would've been 103 on the 27th of this month!!
DeleteThe shaded path is my choice today! Wonderful colorful pictures. I'm stealing Sheldon.
ReplyDeleteI love Sheldon...he comes up with such good lines. Well, at least the writers do.
DeleteThe honeysuckle that is not honeysuckle is just beautiful! I love the color, and so do the ants! The path is just gorgeous, especially with the sun and shadows. I want to walk down it. What is at the end? LOVE the EDAM thing!! Now I want cheese.
ReplyDeleteWhat's at the end? A small playground for kids/picnic tables and the coast of part of Oso Bay.
DeleteGorgeous pictures, and I love that cartoon!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteBeutiful photos! Eye-catching orange!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose
DeleteSuch a pretty walk with the gorgeous flowers and little patrons. That shady lane is just so wonderful - I don't think I would want to leave. I am craving cheese right now :) xx K
ReplyDeleteIt's a great place all except for the summer...mosquitoes galore!!! And in between branches, views of the bay.
DeleteThanks Karen.
Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth.
DeleteLovely flowers and fun conversations and comic strips. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch pretty orange flowers! No wonder the tiny animals and the bird find them.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to walk in that woods shade. Beautiful light! Happy day to you!
Thank you for your kindness. My link is broken!!
If it were me, and my link was broken, I'd want someone to tell me...glad I could help. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteSuch pretty blossoms. I doubt that ant is going to have much luck in moving it though :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Cape Honeysuckle, and I like all the funnies, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end!
Thanks Lea, have a wonderful weekend!!

Hello Anni, the honeysuckle blooms are pretty. I love the hummer! Cute funnies. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, have a happy weekend!

Beautiful pictures. I really enjoyed reading your post for Five on Friday. The little captions at the end were funny! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon.
DeleteThat hummer is in heaven (the ant, too). I like that dappled trail through the trees.
ReplyDeleteYes, this time of year with the flowers still blooming, the migrants enjoy the bounty!!
DeleteWhat a wonderful post, the pictures were stunning and it is always a bonus to have added humour. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed a bit of humor along with the blossoms.

I enjoyed your London photos as well Krishna.
DeleteThat's a beautiful place to walk. The honeysuckle is so pretty - and so attractive to the birds! Loved reading your quips and jokes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorrie.
DeleteThe edam joke ended up with me being banished to the garden shed for two hours! Nice flowers!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
LOL...guess a garden shed is better than a wood shed. Thanks Stewart.
DeleteI love that Cape Honeysuckle, but I'm sure it wouldn't grow in SW Missouri. As a matter of fact, I can't even grow trumpet vine and it grows wild here. Brown thumbs on both hands.
