During the day I walk around and capture those mundane things that most people just walk by and never actually ‘see’.
Like the firey red yellow flower that pop up in the heat.
I think these two are the same plant, different color flowers. I was using my plant snap App to try and identify these plants – didn’t work well at all. So that app is removed from my phone, I may try another one.
So I don’t know their names
, but I do know that they are bright and colorful on these hot days.
Then I walked by this house with it’s beautiful garden, truly lovely, a lot of very healthy looking bushes and this fountain that has become a planter. Maybe they have drip irrigation going through it, because it is so healthy looking.
Same yard, another fountain, delightful.
Remember this guy? I shared him a few months ago. Anyway
, we actually went into the restaurant with friends.
yes, it is a very dark kitschy place.
Got to appreciate their sense of humor!
Love all the kitsch. I had a Trader Vics’ Mai Tai, one of the original Tiki drinks. And yes, it was way too sweet, most sweet cocktails I enjoy these days aren’t that sugar laden. The food was ok, also on the sweet side, except for the garlic edamame that was spicy and garlicky.
The place was pretty empty. They have a burlesque show, which we didn’t stay for. Not my deal. We did have a lovely time with our friends. We both walked there, they from the north, us from the south. It was a lovely evening. Fun to be together, and a fun experience, even if neither of us will go there again. Who knows, we might try another tiki bar, there are a number of them in the valley.
