Damn, it's too early to start the snow pictures................
From last year - I opened their door after the first snow of the year and they freaked out - All I heard from this one was "WTF is THIS?"

It looks more like a shark with the dorsal fin.

The “Golden Hour” was perfect for a few pictures tonight in Florence. I literally took hundreds this week of various views and subjects near the Arno River. These pictures were with the IPhone, I’m excited to see what my pictures from my Canon look like.

Indeed, I have milkweed growing especially for the Monarchs in the summer then patches of zinnias so they can feed before heading off to winter in Mexico......... Hope they all make it!!!!!!!!
And of course I gather the caterpillars in summer to help them on their way.........from start to finish.......... then let go! (That's the hard part - "Farewell my friend")

Oh, it's not as easy as "planting" milkweeds. It takes a few years for the plants to actually grow tall and flower. The seeds are very difficult to propagate then it takes years for the tap roots to develop so they regrow in the same areas every year. I have two first year roots that grew in a pot this year, if you are serious I can send them to you - please just pay the shipping cost. PM me if you are serious.

Apparently the Monarch Butterfly depends upon a certain type of plant which has become scarce and consequently leading to their increasingly limited numbers and locales.
An Eagle Scout to whom our Rotary Club gave a scholarship described this to us at a recent club meeting as he explained how for his Eagle Scout Project he planted numerous starts of the plant to benefit the Monarchs.

Haha, nice one. This reminds of a story my husband like to tell. As a kid, one of his aunts had a Boston called "Tiny" and kept pictures of her and him all over the house. He never thought much of it, but as an adult (after she was long gone) he realized the joke his aunt was playing. Everytime Tiny died, she'd go right out and get another Boston that looked exactly like the first dog, so that by the end of her life she had pictures of her and Tiny over 60 or so years.
They say smaller dogs live longer than the bigger breeds.

That's what I always thought too. Maybe just an exception My ANNIE was an 85 pound German Shepard type dog that lived till 16. Then went down hill fast and had to have her put down.
We found here as a stray pup and was really the first dog I ever had. Damn was she
a great watchdog - didn't let anybody she didn't know even come close to walking into the house. We knew she was a type of German Shepherd because..............
And for some reason she always hated when I wore leather work gloves............

Now she is a beautiful dog. If I owned a dog I'd love to a dog that looked like her and looked so good in a vintage helmet.

Our Bostons average 12 1/2 years. Our larger dogs around 9 tho we currently have a Shepherd mix who's gonna be 13 soon. It's very difficult when they pass but I've had dogs all my life and wouldn't be without one.
Sorry done and done I take it as a complement and appreciate your response. I don’t make the best decisions sometimes and it’s nice that you would kindly say something. Thanks
We have the same garter snakes here as you do up there.-nothing as colorful as the guy above, tho we do have some nicely colored Red Sided Garters locally.
I believe that is a San Francisco Garter snake. It's range is very localized and it's on the endangered list.

Garter? From your area? All we get are the dark brown/green ones around here.
