MILK CARTON KID

This little clownfish is usually lost.
It can always be found in the coral head it calls home.
Here it is popping out at a best guessed location.
I only have a few more images attached, because I was outside shooting the first night blooms on my Cereus cactus.
You`ll see them tomorrow night, I`m sure.
Enjoy & if someone can tell me the theme of Friday`s FFFF, I would be indebted.

GOLDEN CHILD

This is a single image post tonight, but I`ll have many more images from this series I shot over two days posted tomorrow.
This is a Percula Clownfish & it calls home, the Green Torch Coral, it spends all it`s time in & around.
It`s always a guessing game, as to where it will poke it`s head out of the mass of green globules.
It shares this coral head with another similar looking clownfish called a False Percula, though they are different species.
Most fish of different species usually don`t use the same home base nor get along that well, but these two species are a bright exception to the rule.
You`ll see them together tomorrow, if I can get them both in the same shot, in an acceptable composition.
Have a great day.

MALIBU FIRE

Here`s the promised posting of my pond visit.
There are many images of my time there, & I`ve posted a "Comfort Zone" from which to view other images on Planet Earth.
Have a nice visit & enjoy the tropical plantings.
I have a different surprise theme for tomorrow, so please be well in the meantime.

MEMORIAL POPPY

Poppy growing in my yard
Bright sunshine, ocean wind, blowing hard.
A twisted petal, lesson learned,
Good & bad times, memories earned.

I linked more of the flower in question from yesterday, with the forensic "tooth-cut".
I now think the deer have been in the yard.
It`s either deer or penguins.
I also added a very similar blossom as yesterday`s although It had closed up a little since I`d first reported it.
This closing is due to the sunshine, & not it`s demise.
The surprise I had promised for today will have to wait till tomorrow, but I did put a preview shot on Planet Earth.
Have a great day tomorrow, Please.

RED SOLOIST

A flower I just found in my yard.
It is growing by itself & I have no idea what kind of flower it is.
Any hints?
Have a nice day.
I`ll have a few surprises tomorrow.
That`s it for today except for a bunch more linked to this one.

Richard Sawyer, My Friend

My old friend Dick, passed away last night.
He was the best.
The linked pix are of some of the things we worked on together.
The patches of the POW camps where Dick spent a lot of time after being shot down on the 26th mission in a B-17, were patches I made for his museum in Tucson, Arizona.
The paintings commissioned by Dick to give to some of his crew members I enlarged from slide transparencies.
He was generous to a "T" to both myself & Teri.
I`ll be missing him.

EXERCISE YARD

A few pix from my main yard.
These blue flowers are just a very small bunch from a large tree covered with them.
I have more beyond this image.
That`s it for tonight.
Have a great day, every day, Please.
