The dam bench

This a bench that sits in the middle of the walking path across the top of the dam on the lake here. Very serene resting place, for sure. !http://WWW.starzabove.COM/oldphotogallery/archives/landscape/walkbenchflowerslake.jpg!

Closeup on the yellows

Someone told me this weekend the name of these, but of course, I forgot. I’m still native Californian and getting used to the different plant/tree varieties out here in the Midwest. But they are a nice, vibrant yellow. !http://WWW.starzabove.COM/oldphotogallery/archives/flowers/closeupyellows.jpg!
