Another beauty from this prolific bush. A sunny new greeting every day.

Answer to Yesterday’s Mystery Flower: Saltmarsh Fleabane (Pluchea Odorata)

Okay, I cheated by not showing you how tiny they are. I was just amazed at how beautiful they were when magnified. If you want to see them closer up, go HERE.

This is actually a huge spindly bush that grows up from my lot below..at least 15 feet high. It looks weedy from farther away and today all the flowers are closed, but looks beautiful in this photo, I think. And the other closer up photos. Link above.

The Numbers Game #4 , Jan 15, 2024

The doll pictured above  was my favorite doll, ever. It was a Tiny Tears doll. You could feed it water through a bottle and it would either cry tears or pee. The body eventually rotted away, probably through accumulated “pee” that I neglected to rid her of, but I still have her head. And one of her arms and hands, I think.

Today’s Post is pictures numbered 125. Click on photos to enlarge.

Welcome to “The Numbers Game #4”  Today’s number is 125. To play along, go to your photos file and type that number into the search bar.
