My favorite part is how you get a van, and one of the first things you do is drive it somewhere you can GO FOR A WALK. You make me laugh, until I look at that creepazoidal flower, and then I just shiver and slink away. <em>Les Says: I know... we drove for a walk again yesterday and I was afraid to look too closely.</em> I love this story.

I've seen some pretty nice ones lately ! <em>Les Says: Yes, plans are in the works for road trips - most definitely.

And it's probably better that it's not grape color. Also, that face is creepy! <em>Les Says: The new one is white... and grease-coloured. And the face still gives me the heebie-jeebies. I think I may take a break from flower photos for a while.</em> I’m glad you finally got a good car! And it’s probably better that it’s not grape color.

I loved the sagas of the vehicles, but glad you have one and are enjoying it. Do tell the story of the trees upon the side of the road. Me, I have a talent for tapping light poles at the grocery or work, thus leaving nice yellow streaks on the bumper. <em>Les Says: So far, the only marks on "Prissy" are the greasy fingerprints on the doors from the dirty mechanic who did the certification... she came out much dirtier than when she went in. I'm trying to convince Ky that she must be the one to bathe the baby. No luck, so far... And the Tree Story will come soon, I think...</em> Okay that is a very interesting shot you have captured there with the camera.
