It's no sense posting beyond the R's since no one is joining in.

Here are the R's I have for this year...

This rainbow looked like it was hitting the highway in front of us as we were driving on highway 101 in California on holidays in the beginning of February 2009.

There is a huge Redwood tree, called the Chandelier Tree or the Drive-Thru Tree in California, just off the #101 Highway that we just had to stop at and of course, drive thru.

Also, the road that takes you to the tree is more like a one way narrow road/trail and all of a sudden in the trees you come to a spot where they charge admission. Well, you are unable to turn around, so, of course, you pay so you can keep on going and see this amazingly huge tree. We were going to anyways but still....they got you. Wonder what would happen if you say you didnt want to pay ... hmmm...

Now for some plants from my yard...

Royal Velours Clematis looked like a rich reddish purple by the picture on the clematis pot, but in real life it is more red than purple. It also has a very small flower. We will see what the clematis looks like when it is mature.

Red Admiral Geranium or Cranesbill is the perennial geranium that does not have a red flower contrary to its name, rather it is a darker pink towards the purples.
