The whitewash will be a relief. However, theres still the light of the sun glinting off of crystal clear icicles, the play of early morning light and shadow across the face of drifted snow - it just makes me sick.

And even before that, autumn - more vibrant colors and spectacular scenery.

Id wait a bit longer to cut things back, but if I did, I wouldn't be able to get it all done. Fall cleanup, projects and winterizing doesn't leave enough time for the 100 or so beds I care for - from the size of a love seat to nearly big enough to park 2 mobile homes end to end.

Id love to see the desert in full bloom. It always looks amazing in documentaries. Bet Id become the only person to ever have an optically triggered allergic reaction if I did see it.

You guys have it so good. Soon Winter will throw a white blanket over everything ugly. All those awful colors will be replaced with a nice uniform white beauty.

While the assault on our senses here in Hawaii continues non-stop. Colors, colors always with the colors....make them stop!!!

That tree is awesome! Just say no - to lizard poop.

Thank you sir.

Trichrider.... Many of us offended by this unwarranted assault on our eyes, just like you....maybe you will consider a class action? Let all of us get in. Of course you can be the lead plantiff.

LyryC....did you see the Jackson right above the plum in the first pic? They also guard fruit....and do a fine job too. In that pic is a she. Pic you commented on below is a he.

Ive been pushing phlox on the neighborhood kids. This is my enforcer.



Camera shy for good reason. Youll never know its him, even if you pass on the street. That is, until its too late.

Goodbye dry eyes.



Ignore the intrusive cornice.
