On Christ the solid rock I stand...

 Yeah, you might have sung that hymn, but for someone with occasional vertigo, it really helps! Especially since I continue to look up to the stars. Over 222 meteors so far, including a new fireball this month. (The last one was 12/30/22, so they are not that numerous.)

At least as far as I can see.

I have discovered Starscapes. Check it out on youtube.com. Very exciting video of stars and astonishing numbers of meteors. Some were coming over so fast, I couldn't count 'em! No video of these from me, though, as by the time I see them, they are long gone.

Cactus with very nice flower and others coming.
Can you believe this is the Bitter Melon plant that was just a shoot a week ago? There will be an even fuller version later in this post.
Lizard, babe!

I didn't take the photo until they were walking away, but the dog is a Belgian Malinois. And unlike the others I have seen, this one was a sweetheart, begging for a pat.

Somebody's got mangoes! Not me yet...
A little cloud pink.


Pups running loose...a big no-no.






There is a lot of rock piling going on here. I do not know how they balanced these.

It's a double rainbow!

I can't say roses are my absolute fave flower, but they are close.

Crown flower with buds open and below, still closed.

Here's the Bitter Melon plant. I am so amazed at how quickly it grew.

German Shorthair Pointer pup.  Black and white; not the usual brown and white. Ready to play, too, but behind a fence.
A nice week of stargazing and less rain.
Have a great Memorial Day.
