very beautiful, bob. They certainly did brighten my day. Glad you're not getting too wet.
nanna we need rain badly...we're on the outer fringe...it's the kind of sky..where you can almost see the sun TRYING to break through...be we'll get some rain..
Hope you get what you need and no more. Wish it were that easy. From my mouth to God's ear.
Amen.

Bob, that 'Texas Fire Wheel' Gaillardia is gorgeous -- is it really pink, rather than the orange/red of most Gaillardias?
Beautiful Bob,as always.Love your jungle:)
