They are really fun because when you ride your bike over the fallen flowers, they give off a little "pop". And the leaves, when they fall in small clusters, are fun to crunch under your feet. I think only kids from So. Cal and Australia have this experience. :) I hope you enjoy our shared home lands, the land of smog and traffic. :)<br><br>Colleen, now in Oakland, CAMocha MonsterPantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12106662082514042953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-46225007358488667142008-06-09T01:51:00.000+09:002008-06-09T01:51:00.000+09:00Pictures of people are great for keeping memories ...Pictures of people are great for keeping memories but pics of nature are needed to feed the soul.

They are all so pretty, and I took some photos today of my yard, so I can't complain either. Different people have different interests. Some people collect pictures of flowers, others collect fabric. To each their own.Shelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-74666041933252862762008-06-08T04:47:00.000+09:002008-06-08T04:47:00.000+09:00When I was growing up in So.

I'm facinated by your blog, Tanya...we love to quilt, the same music & books.

I LOVE those flowers!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18228272999302748449noreply@blogger.com
