Drexel Dragon

Drexel University, Wednesday morning.

Heading in

Drexel University, West Philadelphia, early Wednesday morning.

Heading in to work, that is; not the fountain.

Woke up same time I did

Tom, Sunday afternoon.

Hannah baby was a honey of a girl

From my bedroom, Sunday afternoon, after the nap.

Hurricane Hannah, or what little of her we got, gave us a windy and raining Saturday without too much fuss, and departed by Sunday leaving us with a splendid early autumn day.

By the way, this is Monday's post going up Sunday night. I'm tired of looking at the yellow caution tape.

Unhappy plastic frog

This makeshift birdbath is actually the bottom tray of a flower pot. The plastic frog was found buried deep in the ground while digging in the garden.

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle, front porch, Sunday evening.

Hard to get mad at honeysuckle. Its kind of of like the stray cat that'll do anything to win your affections. The flowers are not only pretty to look at, but what a sweet aroma it puts into the breeze on a late summer night.

Red wheel barrow, yes; chickens, no.

barrow

A bit blurry (as were we)

Peppers on the grill, Sunday evening.

Morning personality

These weeds (well, I didn't plant them) close their flowers at night. But in the morning they're up early to catch the first sunlight.

Front porch geraniums

Geraniums, front porch, Tuesday evening.

In memory of my grandmother, I keep geraniums. They were her favorite (although she preferred the red ones), and I grow mine in one of her old planters

Backyard berries

Late summer berries in the backyard.

The hummingbird was incensed that I would invade her domain and kept buzzing the back of my neck as I took this photo.

Number 10

Mug Club members party, General Lafayette Inn, Saturday afternoon. The number 10 refers to the years I've been a member, not the number of beers I had that day.

Waiting for us to go away

Near Donna's bird feeder, Ambler PA, Sunday morning.

Blue skies over Carpenters Woods

Wishing you all blue skies, nothing but blue skies, this weekend. See you Monday.

Happy orange flower

Summer is on the wane, but there are still plenty of blooms left, including this fellow.

Remnants

Carpenters Woods, Saturday morning.
