This beautiful tree is a nice spot of color this time of year in the garden at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig. It’s quite close to the main house, I wonder what it’s called? I almost want to say ‘Golden Shower’ but am not quite sure. Anyone know?

For this Flower of the Day Challenge, self decided to go back through her archives.
She took these pictures when she visited the Oxford Botanic Garden, late May.
Oooh, self loves this week’s CFFC prompt! She loves taking pictures of people. Thank you, Cee Neuner!
Decided to take another picture of what’s blooming in the backyard at the moment.

Self’s All Dressed Up started blooming again yesterday.
It is a very, very hot day.

Her roses just don’t quit. Bougainvillea right behind, doesn’t quit either.
Finally, self has done it! After many, many failed attempts, she has succeeded in establishing a bougainvillea! The little itty bitty thing she bought from the Palo Alto Farmers Market in June has quadrupled in size and is covered with fiery orange flowers, which seem to blaze in the late afternoon sun.

Last summer, San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum featured the work of visionary Filipino-American artist Carlos Villa (born San Francisco, 1936 – died 2013). There is only one word to describe it: stunning.
His medium was paper and pulp, canvas and feathers.
His work is especially fitting for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week: TEXTURE.
Yesterday, Sunday, self left bright and early for Golden Gate Park. She’d made a reservation to see the Ramses the Great exhibit. While walking from her car to the museum, she passed a stand of gorgeous yellow abutilon and just had to stop and take a picture.
Self has two different kinds of abutilon in her garden: an anemone pink, and a variegated orange. This is the first yellow abutilon she’s ever seen. So pretty!
