Variations

 Our front porch resident spider is back.  Last night she devoured yesterday's web, and by daybreak had built a new one.  Already had one fly victim wrapped up in a corner.

 A man-made lily.  My daughter is experimenting with her new birthday camera and is already getting some nice effects.  When I look at these light bulbs over her bed, I see lilies.  Maybe she does, too.  Or perhaps stars. 

This is another arrangement of the leaves I posted a couple of days ago.  I call this shot "Botanical Rainbow."  The leaves of Cascara Sagrada stay fresh for quite a while.  I might try still another arrangement today, and post more natural history notes about the species, and color changes in general.
