| Good Morning - TGIF
Here is a photo of a stray plant in our front yard. A squirrel left a sunflower seed in the flowerbed. We kept the plant and by the end of the summer, had a 5 ft flower.

What interesting plants do you have in your yard?
Gillian, did you get a photo of your Poinsettia before you left Spain? _________________ Don |

| Greetings Don!
That is a superb specimen of a sunflower. They are very cheerful flowers aren't they? Maxine I like your rock garden too. we have to use every bit of space don't we?
Yes Don I did take a picture and I will post it soon although the colour was not too strong. You see the red comes through slowly as the days shorten. At the moment some pictures are on a memory stick and some are in my camera. All this moving backwards and forwards to Spain is all very well in some respects but very disrupting in others! The computer is a particular nightmare as we have to try to transfer all relevant material one way or another.
I hope you will forgive me today if I 'pass' on this topic. I am gradually trying to catch up!

| Daffodils are nice; I've photos of some somewhere. Rock gardens are great.
To cap this post I've added a photo of azaleas in the backyard and copies of the photo where I have diddled the colors.
Gillian, will look forward to your poinsettia photo later when you have time. There is no rush. And as you can see we can enhance the color of your poinsettias. As for transfering data between computers, have you considered an external hard drive you can take with you?
