Things you find outside

sometimes I just have to stop and take a picture. Likely it's a crapshoot of randomness but I like that. You just never know what might draw your eye.

For some reason, likely the shade, the birds all wanted to congregate on one side of the pond. Just chillin....

My favorite cactus at my breakfast spot is going to flower. Not only are the spiral stalks kind of cool, but it will be quite pretty to catch open blooms.

This has been in our back yard for awhile. We never go yo the back yard.  It's a waiting game to see how long the ball will stay expanded.  Could I go get it, put it over the wall or even trash it? Why yes, yes I could. But this is fun!
