Not a good pic but here's me when i just turned 20 in Baltimore.
Here's a more recent one taken on Labor Day.
Jaysus, you're nuts lol. Beautiful scenery but why would you jump off a perfectly good bridge and cliff??
-Teresa
Because it is such a perfectly good bridge and cliff, it felt perfectly reasonable to jump off it.
Also you enjoy it from a different view point. On the zip line i was in aww of the view as i was looking down, yet its scary as i feel i'm just hanging by a thread. I didn't see them attach anything to my back so in the vid i was like, "wait, wait" just to be sure.
Ok so ya know how there are those lists of "Things Americans do that the rest of the world thinks is crazy"? One of them that I keep seeing is the space between stalls in a restroom. Do they think the public -likes- that space there? That we requested it? We think it's just as stupid. Well today I'm in another city for training and let me tell you, I am having a hard time using the restroom here because not only is there a gap but the doors and stalls are so shiny they are reflective. You can sit outside the stall and see EVERYTHING in the reflection. Why... Why is this a thing?!

Yes, I agree ... sometimes in public toilets there are such solutions ... that it is a pity to even speak! ....and that space between the stalls nightmare.... once it was so big that I could give my hand to the other person next to me ... lol
In any case, someone might finally think that this space is to be used by people and isn't just an decoration!
ohh look ... who's there in those shiny doors ... it's our beautiful, young mum!!!

Here in coastal California this season is transitional more for marking the end of the dry season than for the colder temperatures. With all the freaky warm weather we've been having lately plants are a little confused.
The tree hanging over the fountain is Acacia cognate and it's in bloom.
Also behind the fountain is large shrub/small tree called Greyia sutherlandii and it is also in bloom.
Just across from the fountain there is a patch of a little bulb called Lachenalia alludes and it is in full bloom now.
A flower I'm looking forward to a lot hasn't bloomed for several years and is full of buds right now. Pincushion flower is popular in the cut flower trade for good reason. This one will be orange. The flowers in the background belong to a cultivar called 'Strybing Beauty' after the San Francisco botanical garden where it was developed.
One more because the dogs are in it.
Whateverist, your garden is amazing, I love it ... one day I'll also have a beautiful, large garden with a small house!!!

That sounds even better. I live in a very old warehouse with no architectural charm whatsoever. But do post some pictures please.

Thanks. Its never too late to experience it. Not sure if you're still vacationing but there are plenty of opportunities for zip lining, rappelling, parasailing, swinging, etc, in Costa Rica.
Actually, past a certain age, I'm pretty sure your bones can just explode out of your body doing a jump like that. Haven't actually tested that idea out myself but pays to be cautious.

Absolutely. She is young, nubile and tough. Strap her up! (I was thinking more about me.)

How old is the warehouse? Was it built with brick and have wood floors? It may have more architectural interest than you think. I've seen plenty of old warehouses that had been restored and remodeled to look really nice to live in.
