A very large and close up photo of a pink petaled Amaryllis flower.

I have this thing I do every night while I’m trying to fall asleep. I get all settled, then pick a topic and go down the alphabet, A to Z listing everything I can think of for that subject.
Sometimes it will be flowers, like this one above.
Sometimes it will be car (automobile) names
or candy, or song titles, or band names, or book titles, or animals.
I sometimes don’t get very far down the alphabet before I’m already asleep.
Does anyone else do this?

What will be in the Mystery Box tomorrow?
I welcome your visits, likes, and comments!
Have an awesome day!
Mystery Box Chickens (they are toy chickens, small, fuzzy, and different colors) with small wrapped box with blue pipecleaner bow. They say “Yay!”
Dan has asked us to remember Cee, on what would be her 64th birthday. It was a sad day when she passed, but we remember her for her caring, friendship, love and light she brightened the world with. She hosted lots of fun challenges, some I participated in. Dan says she liked bridges a lot, and of course she loved flowers. I remember she liked taking pictures of old barns, old cars, and rusted or odd things she’d see. Most of the photos I post are because of her challenges I wanted to enter. My media photos are full because of Cee, and I thank her. ❤

Here’s some bridge photos I took.
First is a double bridge I think was in Missouri.
Next are highway overpass bridges I think was in Dallas TX
Then, the little wooden bridge I put in the fairy garden I made.
Finally, a short bridge I saw when we were spending a few days at Ft. Davis TX

And we Remember Cee in Joy with flowers!
I think Dahlias were Cee’s favorite flower. I loved seeing all the beautiful flowers she would share.

A lot of Cee’s photos were of the times she went to flower farms, like the tulips all arranged by color. I’ve never seen a flower farm, so those were really interesting and beautiful.
A pretty bouquet of pink tulips with yellow tips , accessorized by a pink bow, all in a glass vase.

Cee always gave good tips on photography, too. One was the rule of thirds, where you sometimes try not to put your subject right in the middle … it is more interesting off set a little. Also try different perspectives. I tried to remember these.

Also, I want to wish Dan and Marsha a Happy Birthday! How fun to have shared the same date with Cee!
So, I found out by a FB notice that they removed one of my posts on there from the other day.
It said that my post was trying to get view, likes, and shares, and video?? in a misleading way.
Hmmm …
I never ever post a full anything over there. I only post a link to my blog here, plus the title. Why is that misleading? No one ever even looks at my FB stuff anyway. Well one person does, but even that person hasn’t in a while.
What was the linked post? It was the one for Writer’s Workshop – Jigsaw Puzzles. That’s all it said. It was from this past Thursday, August 1st.
Here’s the notice I got:

I’m not going to review or protest their removing it. Like I said, no one ever looks at my FB stuff anyway, much less follows the link to over here at my blog.
I got a notice another time, it was either FB or Twitter for a flower link. I only post links to my blog. I never say anything on either place. The flower that got removed was for a Pussy Willow. I can kind of see why that might be questionable (not really), but still, people, it’s a legitimate flower! That’s all. Here’s that link: https://wp.me/p3RE1e-g2R
I like the name of this bright orange flower. It is a Sun Star Succulent flower. The many petaled flowers surround a green stalk of segments. They look kind of like a tall artichoke!
Several orange flowers surrounding a multi-tiered column of green succulent leaves.

There are four Squares themes, and you can use all or one, or a few of them;
Burgeoning – Move Forward – Reconstruct – Renew

Spring time is a great time for moving forward, being refreshed, and renewed.

I saw these pretty pink flower trees at the Kansas City Missouri Zoo one year. I’m not sure what kind it is – maybe a Magnolia or Tulip Tree?

Here is a poem done in the Etheree form. It consists of ten lines, each line having one more syllable than the previous one, until there is a total of fifty-five, and is unrhymed.
In a vintage/antique store there was lots of glamour, such as this mannequin dressed in a long, ruffly red dress. She also had a red boa, a red hat, and an expensive necklace.

This photo shows the outside of Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant here in town. The name is in green neon, above a metal, slatted, red line awning. This place is a favorite of ours.
