Good morning everyone! Hopefully, the Cloudflare issues will chill out, and people can enjoy the internet (or Reef2Reef) again!

Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day - Dalai Lama

Just remember today that keeping a positive mindset and focusing on the positives can change your mind and your life for today! So let's all go into today and focus on the positives around us and not focus on the negatives!



 
I really really like his Kenya tree.
Paul, that's actually a pineapple sinularia. I'll get a close up of the stalks.
 
Good morning Smorg.
Kind of a rough morning so far. Driving to work and a semi pulled out in front me. I swerved to miss broad siding it. It was sleeting so the roads were slick. I put the Beemer in the ditch. I'm fine, couple small dents on the rear bumper but oh well. It's fixable.
I will get caught up shortly.
