Dear Readers, I have a major problem with my pictures! All the pictures from Sept. 2010 and back are gone! I am trying to repost the pictures for many of the post but some I have deleted or lost. Sorry for the inconvenience! ...and check back on a post or email me if you are interested in it because it is going to take a while to fix!

Versace Men's F/W '10 rings

In this seasons men's Versace fall/winter 2010 fashion show there was an abundance of interesting jewelry. There were several very different ring styles which varied from 3-finger rings to bulky or sharp, perhaps designed to inflict pain if necessary. The US boutiques received 2 of the styles from the runway which you can see below.

Living Rock blooms

Hello! What a beautiful fall day it is today. Acutally since the beginning of fall the weather has been perfect here in Houston, TX. I think the bright sun and cool dry air is not just pleasant to us humans but also the wildlife. Yesterday when I came outside to water my new native plant garden I noticed my Living Rock, Ariocarpus fissuratus, was blooming. Unfortunately I didn't have my cameras memory card with me. But today it bloomed again. Not as strongly as yesterday, but as you can see, it is still very pretty.
