My Alive and Thriving afternoon!

Happy #aliveandthriving Thursday afternoon/evening to you, and thank you for your visit!

This afternoon I took the bike out to get in a few miles and first I headed to the Park - "uneventful"!
What I did see is "someone" pulled out a Pole,

No doubt so they could launch a boat if some kind.
I really do not like this sort of thing - at all!

And that the Shoreline to the South was not looking any better either,

So I left there to see what else I could find. While looking I noticed these guys replacing more Poles and I got an idea... Are these guys also the ones putting up the cameras?

I left there to ponder that and passed this Oleander bush,

And a single (sorry so blurry - wind),

And a little further along I saw this Pride of Barbados plant (Caesalpinia pulcherrima), which is also called a Red Bird of Paradise,

And about 3 feet / 0.912 meters above my head a stalk was growing,

Needless to say I grabbed a "seedpod "!

Then down the street I saw this "Yellow Oleander",

And the flower to the lower left had a bee,

And another flower,

After that I wanted to just get in some mileage, but...
While riding around I saw this,

I watched for awhile,

And then saw this Sprayer Truck, interesting as we are almost in drought conditions here. I then saw they were filing up from a fire hydrant,

I wonder who's paying for that... And sadly another field lost here...

From there I rode home to think about that. Another funny thing did happen - but that is a subject for a different post.

And so,
I want to thank you again for your visit and I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe Friday!
