Well, finally got a clear PCR test. Leaving Maputo (!!!) Wednesday afternoon, will arrive in Tucson Thursday night. Get to fly on an Airbus 350-1000 from Doha to Dallas. Mozambique is a nice place to visit for a couple weeks, but.....

That man was a truly interesting individual. He lost both of his legs in an accident before WWII and became an air ace when he was reaccepted into the RAF in time for the Battle of Britain. Among other talents he was known for his use of foul language.

as a navy veteran, I ******* salute him! CHEERS!

Nope. Like I said, it's a really crappy pic. These are grey on the back of the neck, around the neck and down the breast. Otherwise, they look (and sound) just like a crow.

That's an Indian House Crow if I'm not mistaken, an invading species in Southern Africa. Either that or a dirty Pied Crow.

Hey @bruce_the_loon, think this one may be from your area. I think the previous owner of our house planted it on purpose in one area and now it is creeping into other.

This is the raised bed were I had pumpkins last year

Yes! Back in the USA. At DFW right now, had to stop at Pappasito's for some Mexican food and a beer!

Unfortunately, looks like I have to go to Greece next week!

Looks like what we call the Cape Daisy down here, aka the Cape weed. Scientific name Arctotheca calendula. I regard it as a weed and dig it out of my garden. I see CA calls it highly invasive, but hasn't yet put a prop 65 warning on each leaf yet.

It is a bugger to control, it spreads underground and by seed. It did look nice where it was originally planted. I have noticed quite a few landscape plants used around here that originate from South Africa.

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't had a beach vacation in my adult life. Looks amazing.

One great place that is the off beaten path island in the Bahamas is amazing is the Berry Islands. Spent a week in the Berry Islands a couple years ago in a sailboat during the yearly sailing guys trip. Very off the grid, water crystal clear and the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. You got to go!

Got it drying out in your garage now?

Not a bud in sight. Is that really weed or is it hemp?

Maybe a male plant? I’m no expert but hop plants have males & females and they are cousins if I’m not mistaken too. Just a thought…
