parley view parsnip....

The Monday post about what is going on around my home...

Remember the lime green seed pods from the Palo Verde Tree ?

 

Well this is what they look like now
dry, brown and the seeds are all so very tasty to the birds, chipmunks and squirrels.

Clouds from the rain storm on the 4th of July over the Catalina Mountains

changing as the day went on

clouds to the west 

Clouds lifting as the storm clears

but a few small clouds hanging on

Rainbow over the Catalina Mountains.

 Love this view as  I walk from my studio past my kitchen to my living room, library and bedrooms. You can barley see the mountains, it was raining.
 I always look out this window towards the fountain and to the mountains.
I am not sure if you can call a kitchen serene but it seem that way to me.

I have a chair that I sit in outside under the kitchen window.
This is one of my favorite places to sit and watch the sky change,  the fountains, the birds and of course
The Square Ones.

Here is your pretty to start the week

This was a fast moving storm at evening a few weeks ago.
It was really too dark for my little point and click
and the photo came out black.
I never delete any of these black photos till I play with the setting.
You never know what is hiding under all that black.
Maybe not so pretty as kind of interesting. 
Could be a good way to start off the week !
