Sunset Santa Clara Valley

I had just a few minutes to get up to my tree to capture the end of the day. I just made it! Not too much color, but the light was pretty, and the clouds moving in bringing rain tonight added to the drama.

My tree is growing up! It’s getting fuller and our hills and mountains are green again.
In Santa Clara County we’re 190% above our average for rain fall, but we still have a long way to go before we’re out of the drought. We need 6 more storms like the one we just had to get out of it the Meteorologists say. I hope we get that! Either way I’m already looking forward to Spring flowers. 🙂

P52 48/52: Give Thanks

Copyright ©2014 Deborah M. Zajac. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

I have so much to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving. He-Man is recovering from the knee surgery really well, and he’s allowed to put weight on the leg now. He starts physical therapy tomorrow!

Big Baby Boy is on his way home for a long week-end, and Baby Girl has the day off and she too is home for the holiday along with #1 Grandson.

I’m Thankful for their health, a roof over our heads, plenty of food to keep us nourished, and warm coats, but most of all I’m thankful that we’re all together, and our little family is still together, and we enjoy being together.

I’m thankful for you Dear Friends for your unwavering friendship, love, support and encouragement to never give up on my dreams and goals.

Give ThanksMay your heart be filled with joy, and thankfulness on this Thanksgiving Day.

Life in the Garden

#1 Grandson, Diva Dog, and I weren’t the only ones in the backyard soaking up the warm rays of the sun after the rain.

Life in the Garden

It was on the brick flower border sunbathing until I scared it with my camera. It sought the shelter of the AC unit. I crept as closely as I could to make this image of it, but I pushed my luck moving too close, and off he ran under the unit, and out of sight.

P52 44/52 Gulf Fritillary

Week 44! Can you believe there are only 8.5 weeks of 2014 left! The year has flown by.

This Gulf Fritillary was fearless! It came to my Lantana while #1 Grandson was out in the yard playing. I had my camera nearby so grabbed it and captured quite a few images of it. I made this image yesterday afternoon.

I wish more critters, and insects were as brave as this one.
