I made a reply to Greg earlier today about angelwing begonias. In my reply, I said that I would have to post photos of my growing begonia collection. While I was taking photos of the flowers, the Blue Angels were practicing maneuvers overhead. How cool is that? It brought back memories, though, of when I first moved to Pensacola.
I was walking my dog Samuel when we heard a terrifying noise, loud and nearby. We couldn't run away because we didn't know where it was coming from. So there we were, a dog and a girl, trying to find cover from what we didn't know. I have an image in my head of me looking like a squirrel darting from one side of the street to the other.
As you may have guessed, what we heard was a practicing Blue Angel coming in for a landing. Yes, we live mighty close to NAS. Anyway, today we heard the same noise. Honestly, the roar of those jets is so loud, it kind of knocks off one's equilibrium. I'll include two pictures I was able to take of the Angels as well...
What??? Can't see them? You're obviously not looking hard enough!

You do have quite a collection! The flowers are gorgeous :-)
Beautiful! If you were closer I'd give you some cuttings from my cane-like begonia.
Wow I just have to get some of those. I will take a picture of some of mine when I get home tonight and post them tomorrow. I really love your collection.
Katie don't let distance hold you back. I shipped some of mine recently by cutting them and removing all the leaves and then wrapping them in a damp towel and sealing it up tight. It only took a few days to get there and they sprouted right away.
Hi, thanks for coming to visit my blog. I'm looking forward to having a good look through your blog.
see you, Jenny
