The Princess has her first "real" job!! She went for an interview last week and got called back for a second interview yesterday. She starts next Monday as a Receptionist for a small company.
She has been working weekends and evenings at McDonalds since she was 14 & a half.
For all that I think about their food (not much) I do think that McDonalds is good grounding work experience.
My marigolds are happy for the Princess too!

All the heavy rain and wind knocked my red rose over before I had exhausted the photo opportunities! We staked it up this morning but the petals are pretty much ruined as are those on the white roses, except for one. The pink roses still look ok and the yellow ones have not bloomed yet. BUT, I still have aphids! Looks like the environmentally friendly organic seaweed soap did not work...
A few more shots of the azaleas in the National Arboretum:

Spring means buds ........... and bugs!!
The male organ of a flower is an impressive looking thing called a stamen.
The pollen bearing anther is supported by a filament which has the function of transporting nutrients to the developing pollen. The little sacs of pollen are called microsporangia.
Collectively the stamens are called androecium (from the Greek andros oikia: man's house).
I took these photos of lilies - an excellent example of flower porn.
I took the macro photo of a white flower.....
Today is closing day!! In just a few hours we will have tied ourselves down to 30 years of debt. This is the house I will die in - too hard to move again. The house does have stairs though so when I am old and fragile and the hips don't work, the astro-dweeb tells me he will move my bed into the loungeroom!
Aren't cicadas cool creatures? I took these photos at our local arboretum. What about the great evil red eyes?
Would you like to be able to shed a skin you don't like and leave it hanging there?
