Some photos from the weekend.
.
More photos of the Century Plant.
It has finally stopped growing at about 30 feet.
Now all the energy is putting out the blooms.

Beautiful
.
I tried to lighten up this photo so you could see the Gila Woodpecker better.
This plant is a magnate for every bird and is now filled with bees.
I just sit outside and watch the fun.
.
As you can see as the plant puts all it's energy into the stem and blooms.
And now the plant it's self slowly dies. It is so sad.
Thankfully in back you can see one of the baby plants left behind.
.
Here is Watson chasing the sun.
.
Moving sun
.
Goodness heavens, chasing the sun is sometimes hard work.
.
..................
And as always just because I can here is your pretty
to start the week.

So happy Watson and thehamish have found a good place
nap when the sun has moved much to high.

Such beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteChasing the sun can be hard work, but count on a Scottie to step up and get it done.
Thank You, so easy here just point and shoot !
DeleteYes, some days Watson works very hard chasing the sun.
I have never seen a tree like that before. And your boys little bums look so sweet in that last pic. We always tease Hair Ball about his. When he had all of his fur, we call him Bunnie-Butt.
ReplyDeleteIt is an Agava Plant Mine is an older plant. So it is very big and tall.
DeleteAwwww bunny-but they are so cute.
You live in such a beautiful place, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteI got the postcard you sent me--thanks! I love anything with Minions!
Yes I am so lucky to live here even when it was 107 today.
DeleteLove that post card, the minions came off of a banana I think.
I saved it for you.
Wow! the sky is so blue and that plant is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! The plant looks spectacular! It looks really gorgeous in front of the big blue sky. Love the photo with woodpecker. The branches must make a nice perching spot for birds. It's really sad the plant will just die after it's fully grown, but how nice it leaves the baby plant. Baby alien is gonna grow :-)
ReplyDeleteWatson is so cute chasing the sun. And your square ones are adorable napping together! Have a happy week!
Such sweet doggies! My kitty likes the sun, too, but is too lazy to chase it except in winter!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a century plant before though I've heard of them! Thanks for showing it!
Those flowers are amazing on the Century Plant, and great it is a source of food for beas and birds. The Gila Woodpecker is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the two dogs having such a good time in and out the sun and enjoying their nap.

Roos
seeing the cnetury plant reminded me that i need to take a drive and check out something i saw the other day. i know, pay attention to driving, savannah, but i THINK there might be a century plant not too far from here! love the 'chasing the sun" pics! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - such amazing colors!
ReplyDeleteI loved our Century plants in La Quinta but we usually stopped them half way for some reason. Too hard to clean up once they wilt or something. Friendship is better than the sun! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLove them all but the last one is my Top Pick.
