More Camellias

——
The camellia bushes that grow along our front walkway go crazy with blooms every January. We live in the house that my parents lived in for 21 years, and the camellias remind me of mom…she loved them so much.

Try taking the other route

—————————
We have a 'standard' path for our morning/evening walks… 
Well, we reversed the route, and noticed these lovely Evening Primrose flowers that I hadn't noticed going the other way.
… take the time once in a while to alter your route, and look for new things along the way!

Just Another Weed Beside the Road

—————————————————————–
Some call them Cornflowers, others call them Bachelor's Buttons…
…but most people just see weeds beside the road…
How about you?

I Found the Q-Tip Factory!

————————————–
Thanks to a prior post by +Robin Griggs Wood, I had enough hints to scout out the location where they grow the Q-Tips, and verified it on my morning walk today. This set is near ready to harvest.

Do Foxes Really Wear These?

——————————————————-
I've never seen a fox wearing gloves… it seems rather silly… particularly when these are only available in late spring when the weather is much too warm to be bothering with gloves….
…oh well…yet one more thing I don't understand about floriculture…

Waxing Gibbous

—————————
Day 3 of my #fivedayquest  , thanks to +Elizabeth Hahn 
5 days / 5 photos / tag a new person each day to join
1 photo for 5 days of your daily life.

I teach at a private residential college in a rural community in the hills above the Napa Valley…and nestled in the 1800 acres of forest land behind the college, we have a Celestron 1400 telescope in a nicely-sized observatory dome. Besides being used for astronomy labs, it is open for public viewing every Friday night (weather permitting). 

Last night I went in to learn the process of initial calibration/alignment that then allows for easy finding of hundreds of interesting objects in the sky…Now I'll be able to come back on my own in the future and use the DSLR adapter to play in the dark…

Having the moon this bright makes other objects harder to see, but we got great views of Jupiter and 4 of its moons, along with Saturn and it's amazing rings.  A couple-dozen students stopped in to ooh and ahhh.  It's fun to see 18-22 year-olds get excited about "sciency" things.

This was shot with my Samsung Galaxy S5 just held up to the eyepiece of the telescope

For this third day of the five day quest, I tag +Joe Dolister   Joe, you are under absolutely no pressure to do the fivedayquest, but if you want to, you can! Just post a photo of daily life for five days. :-)
