Friday (22-June-2018) — New Jersey

Backyard Early Summer Nature in New Jersey.

The Yucca and Prickly Pear flowers are in bloom. There are several new wildflowers (and I am not sure of the ID). I also am seeing more poppies (Red, Icelandic, and California). Individual images from the slide-shows are available here.

Land Rover Princeton Off Road Event.

My Range Rover when it was shiny and new. I’m still driving it — now with over 180k miles.
