IT'S SO OFFENSIVE


Says the pigeon - who is sometimes referred to as a flying rat.  They don't like it much and they beckon one to look closer at the iridescent feathers around their neck and their beautiful eyes rimmed in red eyeliner.  They are quite a sight to see up close.   They are just hungry and always waiting for opportunities to eat what we reject.

SOMETIMES YOU ARE HERE
AT OTHER TIMES OVER THERE
ALWAYS SEARCHING FOOD

RIVERSIDE BOTANICAL GARDENS

We visited this place a few days ago on the 1st  and the weather was only in the low 80s but coming down from the mountain felt like it was in the 100's.  Whew!  I could have stayed in the shade all day.

It was a high contrast type of day - not my favorite light to take photos in but I like the light in this top photo ...here are a few from that day.  The cactus and succulant gardens are always my favorite area to visit.
