Too Much Beauty, Too Little Time

I'm not caught up yet, sorry.

This not-caught-upedness is shown in the lack of blog posts and the old photos I'm posting here. All pretty, mind you, but some taken a week ago. It's a good thing beauty doesn't age out!
Beau loves to drive when he gets a chance.

Don't worry; the car was in park. Beau is perusing the river for sailboats. What a fluffy dog he is! In this picture, he looks like a dog who needs a children's book written about him.

The car isn't the only place he prefers the driver's seat.

Now, relax and enjoy some blooms from Oriental.

This spindly rose bush is beside a mailbox, but Oh! the color of the blooms!

All these, on one bush ~

Is it orange? Red? Pink? Something in between?

Perhaps the beauty is in the inscrutability.

This local pooch received a friendly scratch while enjoying a ride in daddy's truck. Oriental is the most dog-lovin' town I've ever experienced.

Bright azaleas ~ the camera simply doesn't do them justice.

These folks on Blackwell Point have a nifty decoration at their driveway.

A bearded iris, I believe?

Years ago, I collected a few of these railroad insulators. They look pretty this way.

Knock-out roses are popular here.

Moving on ... to more recent photos ...
My friend with the beautiful yard has a bed of these beauties:

 Aren't they something?!

 Perhaps the prettiest Knock-out roses in town are down at Oriental Marina, in front of their sign.

 They bloom so prettily because they have such a view!

 One house has a fence full of Knock-out roses. I showed you these last year.

 Awhile back I took a photo of a line of daffodils, which are now gone. But in their place (same yard, same bed) now appear a phalanx of foxglove!

I think I'm now caught up on showing you all my "flower photos." I should start leaving my camera at home, so I don't get behind again :) Cheerio from Oriental!
