Vintage on line

I have always wanted to participate in the
illustrious Outdoor Wednesday, alas, the
most "out doors" I get is from the car to
-insert destination of choice-. I don't really
"do" the sun...ick! If you think the Cullens
are pale...I make them look like Malibu
Barbies!
Well, anyway...we did end up on Balboa Island
a few days ago and I shot a snap or two, so, I
thought they might make the cut!





Mr. Seagull seems a bit full of himself...
note that strut!




I don't know what these are, but I loved
that sedate little pansy sticking out of
the middle of all this vibrancy!




What are they? Love the color!



Looks like the "fauna" was up to no
good and I think their shenanigans
included making a meal out of this
starfish...poor thing! Could the
aforementioned Mr. Seagull be the
culprit?



There goes the neighborhood!




We had a lot of fun scaring, uh, I mean
watching all these little crabs scurry
into their holes! (what can I say...easily
amused!)



Some kind of cute little white flowers...
feel free to jump in anytime now and
help me out with actual names!



What is this tree? With those cool copper
colored branches and those little flower
thingies that look like Japanese lanterns!






Heart shaped leaves! How can you go
wrong!



Now, while I am a total "flora" weenie,
I am pretty certain that those maroon
glass bulbs do not actually sprout forth
from that lemon tree! (Full marks for
decorating their plants in their favorite
team's colors though! The WHOLE island
seems to have that Trojan affliction, whilst
I am a Husker girl...)





That is a fern!!!! Ha! Got one!
I really just likde the way it looked
against the shabby pink fence!





The rare and allusive, Kae, partially obstructed
by the tree. We passed her, and her whole
family as we were leaving...we are so boring
we even end up in the same places! ;)


Be sure to stop over at SUSAN'S
