  3. Bougainvillea must be tougher than I realized. There are some gorgeous ones blooming here, too. We’re finally near freezing this morning; it will be interesting to see how they fare. That iridescent buck and real doe make for quite a pair; I loved that photo.

  4. Lovely photos, John & Producer. The doe is so cute lying there. The sunrise shot is my favorite. IT perfectly captures that color that lasts for about 30 seconds most of the time. I also like the moon shots.

    Buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy and fried eggs? Music to my ears. It’s gonna be hard to have toast, apple and yogurt 😦

    I hope you have a great week.

  8. That is one fabulous sunrise photo! The Producer certainly got some great shots, as did you. I’ve seen Neil Diamond perform, he’s awesome. He was a lot younger then though.

  10. What a great collection of photos, especially the flowers – and the doe and the buck! We don’t have any flowers here except my lemon tree in my office is blooming and blooming. As soon as it’s warm enough I’ll put it outside again.

    Huevos rancheros today!

  14. Thank goodness for your wonderful pictures, John — because I think I lost my mind when I read the words “buttermilk biscuits and gravy.” Sigh… it’s been far too long… 😀 Anyhow this is a lovely tour. How fun to see the doe beside the crystal-looking buck. Also, thanks for the fun post Thursday with the girls. I hope you and Barbara had a splendid visit. Big hugs.

  15. Welcome back, John — you were missed. Flowers!! How I love seeing them, especially since it’s so bitter cold here. I got a kick out of the parrot mailbox topper (so colorful) and the rainbow-hued buck. I know, glittery things catch my eye!

  24. This week’s stroll had it all Sheriff.

    Ya had the moon galloping off the grounds, psychedelic wildlife, parrots parroting, luscious foliage and here I am, chowing down on my ricotta pancakes as I take it all in. Muchas gracias!

  31. I love this mix, especially the sunrise and the virtual buck. Sweet Caroline is played at the Red Sox seventh inning stretch, so it is rather beloved here in Massachusetts.
