The mountain of flowers

 After almost all the land moving for the new subdivision, there was a huge mound (alright, not really a mountain!) which burst into bloom a few weeks ago. I am not out driving as often these days, so I did a good-old double take when I saw this.  The next day I made a special drive-by going into the road which now has a few finished units. They look like duplexes.

Today's Quote:
Not until black demonstrators resorted to violence did the national government work seriously for civil rights legislation ... In 1850 white abolitionists, having given up on peaceful means, began to encourage and engage in actions that disrupted plantation operations and liberated slaves. Was that all wrong? -Ingrid Newkirk, animal rights activist (b. 11 Jul 1949)
