a cloudy dreary day here so far, but this Osteospemum 'Sunny' Dark Amanda' is sure to cheer you up

[Kiska]

Beautiful, sunny blossoms do start the day off right. It's been sunny and bright for days on end lately.
24 hours daylight continues even as we've lost 2 1/2 minutes already. The visiting gkids are keeping us on our toes:))
46*F

I bet they are keeping you going, Kiska. :> How are your flower boxes doing??

[Andy P]

One from the park, a tree bowl. Rather old with a hole.

[sjasis]

I"ve never heard that term either!

[Andy P]

Hmm, I may be wrong. I've seen the term, it's either this or the hollow left when a tree is uprooted.

[sjasis]

I've called it a knot too .... or a gnarl or burl.

[GTO]

cool tree...I see an old man's face in that knot!

As always, a nice collection of photos. Louie, we need your 'Sunny' Dark Amanda' close-up on the main page!

Nettie and I are off to Kansas City for the Royals-White Sox game Friday night, fireworks, and a KC steak dinner on the Fourth of July to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Yep, we got married on Independence Day.

Have a great & safe Fourth of July weekend, everyone. You too, Louie!

After The Game: Nationals vs Orioles at National's Park in Washington, DC-Summer 2008

Sounds like a perfect Independence Day/Anniversary celebration, Rok. :)
Love the stadium shog.
