Pictures for Pam, Day 112: Colorful Wasp Gall in Pool

(+2 insets!)

Steve and I went out to look at RV trailers today! We are getting very close to purchasing our new "home on wheels" and drove into town to look at a few that are in our price range and the style that we like. It's surprising how different they can be from one company to the next and standing in each type is important to get an understanding of the space. The layouts and slide options really make a huge difference in usability and size. Even the overall tone (dark/light) changes the way one feels from another. We aren't going to get something new so we need to be very careful about how "used" our chosen trailer is.

About four months ago we went RV shopping to see what was out there and we found one that we really liked for sale by a private owner. Unfortunately we didn't have the money to buy it at that time so we had to tell him that we couldn't purchase it but if it happened to still be available when our funds came together, we'd be in touch.

Steve did some looking and to his surprise, he discovered that the trailer was still available! He called the owner up who said that he didn't advertise the trailer after we'd shown strong interest and only recently put it back up for sale..what are the odds? We made the effort to look at RVs today to make sure that the trailer we liked was really the one we wanted. So, tomorrow we're going to go see it again and make our decision. It will be a life-changer if we say yes!! We are very excited!

Today I am posting a picture of a lovely wasp gall that I found sitting in a pool of water that was inside a tree trunk! I just love the dreamy quality of the water. I am also posting another picture of a wasp gall that's absolutely bristling with frost! In fact, I call the inset picture, "Look at My Fancy Hair!" I'm also including another panorama of our property with the Table Rocks in the background.

Pam, this afternoon as we got home, the sun came out and shone brightly with stunning golden light. I thought about you my dear, so I went to your page and looked up something with "sunny" in the search results. I came up with a beautiful picture of a False Sunny (oops, that's actually a Zinnia! TY Pam!) with a skipper and butterfly visiting ...such a happy picture to see! *BIG HUGS FROM SOUTHERN OREGON* :)
