Here is the Full Pink Moon from just a few days ago. It’s not pink. It has not ever really been pink. Now if you insist, I have the skillz and appz to make it pink.
From the Tulsa Botanic Garden. They had ultralife size origami, only with other materials and they called it florigami. It was cool, I’m guessing this is a giant begonia. Sorry if I am wrong, I often am.
And these are some big lillies.
And these are some tulips.
My gym is part of a hospital system that I think spends more on landscaping than they do on medical stuff (I’m kidding.) So these are the tulips from my gym. Does your gym have tulips? Maybe you need a cheaper gym. Maybe I do also.
Me leaving PT earlier this week cuz I hit 120 degrees on the knee bend test. That is a critical point in knee replacement physical therapy. Hurts like you know what but things are getting better quickly. Also, this week I was able to get on the stationary bike and turn the pedals. That was also painful but I loved it just the same.
From my latest money making venture. I’ve been saving the families aluminum cans for a long time. My wife gave me the ultimatum that they needed to be gone by the time book group starts or she’ll get rid of them for me. Hey she never asks me for a thing or ever gets mean or anything so we she makes a request I’m all over it. (most of the time). So I bagged them up and weighed them. 30 pounds!!
Drove 22 miles to a metals recycling place in north Tulsa. Got in line drove through the hole into the building. They threw my bags on scales and they suddenly weighed 17 pounds. Got paid in cash and I’m still trying figure out where my missing 13 pounds of cans went. To be fair, the scales are literally big enough to drive a car onto so I am not surprised that they are not true in the entire range. I’m not sure that I cleared a profit but hey I got to see a different part of Tulsa society. I sure lead a sheltered life is all I am going to say.
Went for a walk and found these small bluish-purply blooms and thought they were pretty cool. Just so you know, in Oklahoma, bluish-purply is word.
And late one day caught the American Flag flying.
I’m linking with the fine photobloggers at My Corner of the World and Skywatch Friday.
…we save bottle and cans for out granddaughter’s marching band fund drives.
Florigami is a new word to me but how wonderful the results. Had to laugh at the weight difference. We humans should be so lucky as to realize we might not be as hefty as we think!
I like the photos and the word blueish purpley – sounds good to me.
I really like the origami sculptures, not often you see shapes like that. Good you were able to bike again.

That’s a beautiful moon photo. Perfect focus and exposure! I was out finishing up a hike that night and managed to get a few photos, but haven’t posted them yet on my blog. Glad you are recovering well with your knee!
Me gusto la luna. Bellas flores. Te mando un beso.
Cool sculptures. Beautiful blooms.
The moon, the faux flowers and the ones for real are a delight!
Love the florigami! I give my aluminum cans away for free to the county recycling. It’s the least I can do since they don’t make a profit on the plastic or glass. They might make a profit on the paper, I don’t know. They get my steel cans too, but no one‘s ever gonna get rich on that.
those blooms look beautiful…n the moon look pale yellow to me…
Beautiful moon photo! I love the sculptures and all the flowers. You have made great progress with your knee. Have a great day and a happy Easter weekend.
Beautiful flowers.
Great moon picture. I have no idea what flower the pink florigami is supposed to represent but I like it as a piece of art. And three cheers for your continued recovery from the knee replacement surgery. It is a significant milestone. Congratulations!
Great post, Moon looks amazing. Beautiful flowers. Flower installation amazing.
Take care. Happy Weekend.
What a lovely collection of photos! That Full Pink Moon shot is great, even without the pink. And huge congrats on reaching that knee bend milestone, fantastic!
