WEEKLY BLURB: Happy Fathers day on Sunday to all fathers! Is it in some of your countries on another date?

Am relieved to have an excuse to post and look at the clouds and trees – since I spent a day trying to figure out if my computer has a template for a manuscript for the novel I’m writing. Feel like it’s finding the algabraic X-Factor! On the third day …YES I rather have an X in trees, like here:)
(1) A few weeks ago I mentioned at the meme SEASONS that the green had turned brown. Fortunately we have red soil here, so it does not look dismal. (Good Fences)
(2) THE GOOD: swimming between the sand dunes in Yosemite’s Nat. Park’s valley. The place from where I’m paining this scene is in the shade, but not as idyllic -prickly grasses and mosquitoes! Can you see how much I suffer for my passion (haha)
(Weekend Reflections, Trees & Bushes, Waterworld)
(3) Entrance Door of Town Hall Auburn, CA (down town in a small street, so I only could take half of the door) An old treasure!
In memory of the fifty who were senselessly killed in Orlando, FL and their grieving loved ones.
This flower is the same as the ones below
Fri Hunt:
Begin with Y: Yosemite Sand Dunes (2)
Weeks Favorite: Last pic
In Shoes: Pine cones In my Sandals – almost forgot to take them inside. The sandals I had to buy – one of those emergency buys) bought in Italy, because the ones I had gave me blisters!

THE FUN: Approaching Summer -I love late afternoon to early evenings, when it takes the sun a few hours to say goodbye to the day.

Hello, lovely post. I would think it is gorgeous there this time of the year. My family enjoyed a trip to Yosemite one summer and we loved the views, waterfalls, park and the huge trees. I love your pretty flower and the gorgeous Egret. Beautiful sky capture. Wishing you a happy day and weekend ahead!

I love trees. Neighbors a couple blocks up cut down two, hundred year old oaks on their property last week. I can no longer walk past their house, it depresses me. It’s like lining up humans and shooting them, to me.
