Today is Halloween and these are just here for the "BOOS"
Our golden rain tree used to be three times this size, this is from my front porch. It has blooms on it now. a third of the tree was cut off to take down a rotted tree that partially fell on our roof a few years ago. First time it has bloomed since then.
Golden Rain Tree, which is known for its showy flowers and distinctive papery seed pods. The scientific name for this tree is Koelreuteria elegans or Koelreuteria paniculata.
Last but not least Mama Cuban Tree Frog, was guarding the pool pump when I went to pump it... she is about 3 to 4 inches long and can hop way high and far..

I thought you are not doing anything to the pool lately? I love the one of you riding the broomstick like a surfboard!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I especially love the smiling faces on the stacked cups and the ones of you holding up the weighty pumpkin and riding the broomstick. :)
ReplyDeletewe love it!! a guest dressed as a frog (sort of LOL) have a good halloween day
ReplyDeletefun creations for this Halloween Day. This "not so little " froggy has found himself a good place to hang out. Hope your little Trick R' Treaters bring you joy this evening....
ReplyDeleteCute frog. That tree is pretty. Glad to see it's blooming again. Love your drawings. I especially like the stacked mugs.
ReplyDeleteLove your creative Halloween art. And your golden rain tree is a totally different species than the tree we call golden rain (gullregn) here... Don't think we have your kind here!

ReplyDeleteAw, what a fun post you gave us today! Hope you have a good day. YAM xx
Happy Halloween, I love all your art work. The Rain tree is pretty, I am happy to see it has blooms now. The frog is cute. Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour golden rain tree is lovely - it's nice that it recovered from its shock lopping.
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween art is very entertaining and I am happy to see the Golden Rain Tree and the Cuban Tree Frog. Maybe if you kiss the frog he will turn into a prince and take you to a place without hardship, where you will sit on silk cushions and eat bonbons all day. I bet that doesn’t seem too bad right about now!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty tree and the frog is cute!
ReplyDeleteBoo to you - hope you all have a good day!
It's so nice to see your tree blooming with such cool looking pods...and that frog is soooo cool!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteI've never seen a golden rain tree but I do love the papery leaves

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - you sure do ride a broomstick well. I have never seen a golden rain tree but I think it is pretty.
ReplyDeleteAw, Mama Cuban Tree Frog made it to the big time ... how many on a given day get to be viewed by so many folks across the globe!
ReplyDeleteYour drawings always make me smile, and the Surfing Snapper on a broomstick made me laugh out loud!
I'm glad to hear your tree is blooming again. Your Halloween illustrations are so cute. I hope you have fun with your trick or treaters tonight.
ReplyDeleteYou on the broom with a candy filled pumpkin is a HOOT. I love it. Wishing you an oogie boogie day. Happy Halloween too!
ReplyDeleteGlad your tree is blooming. I like your drawings and I loved seeing the frog.
ReplyDeleteyou riding that broomstick is pretty cool - i have a t-shirt which announces that "old cool is the new cool"
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! Happy Halloween and great big hugs from all of us!
ReplyDeleteLove your broomstick surfboard! That one took the prize today, but they were all good. I love seeing the raintrees blooming around here. Yours will be beautiful again. It's nice that it's coming back! Mr. Frog is a pretty cool pool frog! He's a lucky boy! I hope your weekend is pleasant and uneventful. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy to see your art.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your tree is blooming again.
I never heard of a Golden Rain tree, what a pretty name for a pretty tree.
ReplyDeleteLove the comment that David made about kissing the frog..that's my wish for you too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that your tree is back to blooming. Some things take time to recover ...
And
Great art for Halloween !!
Thinking of you and whispering a prayer.

Hello oh creative one. You are so clever! I am echoing David's sentiments. Thinking of you always.
ReplyDeleteFun art, and that is an interesting tree, we don't have those here in our colder climate...at least I don't think we do! That is a big frog!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty tree. My post is about a tree too. Love your halloween pics. Hope all is going well.
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever with the art! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had planted a Rain Tree when we first moved here 32 years ago. I'm too old to wait for one to get that big and bloom now. I'll just enjoy others all around me.
Prayers that all is going as well as possible.
Love. 🦃
i love your Boos creations. Glad reading your fun post. the frog is cute and wonderfully photographed. Have a nice Sunday! big hugs!
