In the 'hood

 

I see this plant out my living and bedroom windows...close to another apartment building. A few days ago I walked right up to it and took photos. I think it's a very big azalea.

The last pretty azalea of the bright pink variety, and a hanging planter with an unknown plant.

Some apartments have ramps rather than stairs to the porches and entrances...probably designed for disabled residents. I like the plants this apartment always displays.

As I walked near Walker St, I saw these yellow flowers growing wild in the shade.

Another flower I don't know.

My big event on Sunday was taking my empty 10 gallon aquarium and all its paraphernalia over to the give-away table in the laundry room. I had thrown the pump away earlier, to insure that I didn't start another tank full of fish, which would require frequent tending. I'm determined to reduce the amount of things I have to care for. That's because this old person keeps having more demands to take care of myself! I've forgotten to take my vitamins now for 3 days! Oh dear...

Today's quote:

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.”
