This is an unbelievably delicious surprise dessert at Solare Ristorante – San Diego’s Best Restaurant 2017 Winner Randy Smerik – Owner.
Chef Accursio Lota is also winner of the Best Chef in San Diego, in San Diego Magazine.
Chef split the fruit, gutted the fruit, made different sorbets of the insides, and put them back, then froze them rock hard. … Talk about melt in your mouth surprise! Amazing!

I have some very good memories of a very good friend, who has since our last visit, passed away.
Like the days, and the sunsets, our lives are very short.
Enjoy them while you have them.

So, As this was a discovered chrysalis, and I am not a lepidopterist, I cannot properly identify this as the chrysalis of any specific type. …
That little ball of spiky stuff is the remains of the caterpillar skin. I will watch this and see if the adult ever emerges. With luck, I may catch some action in a little while.

This particular flower just asked to kept for a hundred thousand years. So, I took several pictures of it, and this is the one I kept.

So. … Here is a cute little boy kid that likes his Yoplait, his grandma, loves his mom and his sisters, chases little dogs around, likes to kick things, and do more than his size allows. … Be careful of these little people, they hold power over you. 😉

I just love these little swifts. We used to call them Blue Bellies, because they have two blue patches on their abdomens. I believe this is a female, they are usually a little lighter in color, and the blue scales on their backs do not stand out as vibrant as they do on the males.
You can easily see, on the tail, where the tail has grown back after an old loss of a tail. The new growth on the tail has none of the blue scales, and the scales are much smaller.
***News Update*** Today, the second of May, 2017, four days after I took this picture, this very same swift was caught in a sticky fly trap that had fallen down to the patio. Lucky for this little swift, she was discovered while still alive. I slowly, and very carefully, peeled her off the trap. She was barely moving, and barely breathing. I let her rest in my hand for a few minutes, and saw her eyes start to light up. Then I placed her on a branch on a small bush in the garden. She stayed there for five minutes with her eyes darting around, barely moving, then she ran away. … Yay!
