Take a look at these gorgeous flowers:

I thank Brian for taking this photo of my neighbor’s gorgeous watermelon red flowers. I could not tell from way across the road what they were. The easy thing would be to ask my neighbor, but she doesn’t even look at us cross-eyed these days. So we went out to the side yard with the zoom lens-ha! After he uploaded the shots (and the camera software zoomed in nicely) I could tell these were bee balm flowers. At least I’m pretty sure that’s what they are. Yeah. I’m gonna get me some red bee balm. ; )

Are you watching any of the Live Earth Concerts? We turned it on at 10 am and it’s on Bravo until 2 am this morning. Reminiscent of Live Aid back in 1985 (I watched almost the entire thing back then). A stand-out group was a group of British scientists called Nunatak (see my Vod:Pod) in Antarctica who performed on the barren snowy plains with penguins around them.
