From my garden last August -  big and showy and a delight when she appears in August!!
The hardy hibiscus grows the largest flowers, with blooms that can get to be 8 inches across. Although each flower lives only for one day, the plant generally produces hundreds in one season.

Verona Italy

May 2004 - Verona Italy


These are the most popular tourist attractions in Verona. Juliet's house can be found at Via Cappello, 23. However, while the Capulet family did once live in Verona, it is doubtful that they ever lived in the house now designated to them. There is a statue of Juliet in the courtyard and the house has been restored in line with the famous play. Romeo's house can be found on Arche Scaligere, 4 and this is believed to be the actual house where the Montagues lived.

This is rather a tacky place to visit as people are allowed to write love notes and stick them onto the walls with chewing gum. However it was an amusing diversion on our day out in Verona.

All those words written by lovers

For this week's theme Cat Patches is thinking of something wide open to interpretation - The Way I See It.


This was a tough one, I take so many photos of signs but this one from Shanghai China just makes me smile. This is a sign at Yuyuan Gardens.

I had to rack my brain for an idea.
This is a photo of the Nicaraguan coat of arms. It appears on most of their coins.

The coat of arms features a triangle encircled by the words REPUBLICA DE NICARAGUA on the top and AMERICA CENTRAL on the bottom.

• It has the shape of an equal triangle
• The triangle stands for EQUALITY
• The rainbow signifies PEACE.
• The phrygian cap symbolizes FREEDOM
• The five volcanoes represent the UNION and the FRATERNITY between the five Central American countries.

This photo was taken in Central Park in Granada.
