It just now occurred to me that I should submit a photo of my growing waist line.

Cracked me up, Mike!

Yesterday we were driving near Enis, Montana when we saw miles of fields full of pretty yellow weeds (at least I think it's a weed). The rainstorm we had while there should keep them growing for a while longer.

That's a beautiful scene, Terri, with nice leading lines. Perhaps that's a canola field (with a few "escapees")?

Maybe, but they didn't seem like the canola fields we have around here. This seemed more wild. Here is across the highway from the previous photo.

Maybe just some kind of mustard weed then . . .

I don't know. It does look a lot like canola. Whatever it is, it sure was beautiful!!

Great colors and use of DOF in this one, Dave.

Terri, my best guess is that it is an invasive mustard introduced from Europe.

You have a great yard, Nick, and you've captured it well. Hard to pick a fave from these but, if pressed, I'd go with your dogwood shot.

Palouse · Jul 14, 2019

Thanks Eric. Yeah, those Dogwood fruit are alien-like.

Oh my, Terri, Your pride, passion and skill in both your hobbies comes through so very well. I do so love the oregano shot. Great use for an old companion that the Maytag was.

Thank you so much, Nick!!
