I hate people.

    Another shitty day. If I could turn coworkers in like you can turn in pop cans in Michigan, I'd have made a few bucks today.
     Rather than pissing anyone else off, I'll just post a few more pictures from my parents' house--after wishing a very happy birthday to Christopher.

A hibiscus on the deck ("north lawn"), rendered abstract.

Hibiscus, deck--fozzy with insect residue.
An iris that will, when it opens, be the opposite of that shown yesterday: purple with white. North lawn.
Burgundy irises, not yet open--and a surprise (right lower quadrant of frame). North lawn.
Dandelion, for Robert. North lawn.
A yellow flowering thing, unidentified, in the grassy part of the north lawn.
The flowering tree across the street (south) from the dining room.
The view south-southwest from the driveway.
