Well actually, walking home from church, first one passes the 195 bus stop where there are colorful flowers

With red leaves (?) and something

This was a surprise - a lizard in the background

Ellen likes the altered hue and saturation - so here is one for her

Then past McDonalds which has a small pond with turtles. Here they are

Then one enters the forest / jungle / bush. There is a small stream where dragonflys and butterflys abound

From behind. This guy would take off and return to the same place and usually oriented in the same direction. Eventually I got tired of waiting for him to cooperate and show his face - so I move. He left - but then soon returned. Patiences, quiet and being still is the name of the game
