Not too much going on this week...
just trying to see and do and visit loved ones before I...
get ready...
GO BACK TO WORK!
Yes, I got the job. Woot! Thanks for all the prayers, well wishes, and good thoughts sent my way. I really appreciate it! Unless something out of the ordinary comes up to prevent me from taking on this fabulous position (with the year I've had it wouldn't surprise me), I will start on June 18th. Three miles away and NO PANTYHOSE. Did I mention that already? Hee.
These are flowers I've seen lately, some unidentifiable. If you can help me ID them I'd be thrilled to pieces.
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to say what the job was: Executive Assistant to the CEO of a local credit union.

your photos are magic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job. Would love to know what you'll be doing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images...only one I know is the cone flower!
i'm horrible with flowers and their names, but that last one is a lizard :)
ReplyDeletecongrats on the job. i'm so behind with blogs that i went back looking for what the job actually is and couldn't find it :(
so what will you be doing...."hose-less" .....snort :)
Such beautiful photos. #4 looks like flowering maple.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job!
These fabulous flowers obviously don't grow in Oregon (other than the coneflowers...a favorite in my own flowerbeds), so I can't help. But #3 is truly amazing! All those layers make it look like a paper flower. Congrats on the job!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job! Your photos are gorgeous! Love the anole shot!
ReplyDeleteWow....you grabbed yourself a good job there....Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteNo panty hose...this makes it even better.
I always enjoy your gorgeous, detailed pictures...
Have a super great day. hugs

congrats to you, dear gail!!! i just KNEW the forgotten purse was an 'in'! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job, Gail! I am so happy for you, especially since you don't have to wear panty hose. That was never a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI think #4 might be in the Peony family.
Gorgeous shots!

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE JOB! YaY! WooT WooT! Party-time! =)
ReplyDeleteI don't know the flowers, but they sure are beautiful... you really got some great shots of them all! =)
Nice job title, too... very nice! =-)
ReplyDeleteYEA!!! So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYour photos look amazing as always. Love the green little guy.. He looks like he is smiling to me.
Hugs~
CONGRATULATIONS GAIL!!!
ReplyDeleteI am truly so happy for you.
Your photographs are wonderful, especially those coneflowers. Gorgeous color and softness.
Have a great weekend, and I wish you all the best in your new position.
xo.
Congratulations! How wonderful to get a job.
ReplyDeleteAnd these shots - well, they are just fabulous!
yay on the new job, and especially the 'no pantyhose' clause! love these flowers but can't help you id any. sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh yay you! I'm so happy for you. Your flower images reflect such beauty as always. A website identifying your local flowers might be of help.
ReplyDeleteHip Hip Hooray you are now a working girl. Hope it is everything you dream it will be, but one thing is for sure, no panty hose!! Gorgeous flower images!!
ReplyDeleteNow to identify some of your flowers...
the blue one (periwinkle) is a Duranta. I fell in love with these while in Galveston.
I think #4 might be an hisbiscus and #2, could it be some kind of a honeysuckle??
No idea on the others.
Congrats Gail. Hope the CEO knows what to expect! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Gail!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I can't help you with the flowers, I'm so lousy with flower names, I couldn't even begin to tell you the flowers I have in my boxes....they're just pretty flowers, lol!
Gorgeous shots Gail! Congrats on the new job!
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good with flower names, but I know pretty when I see it, and these are that! A big woo-hoo on the new pantyhoseless job, too--that's great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job and woot on no pantyhose!!! Love the green anole pic.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, that's wonderful news....the leave-your-things-behind trick must have done it! ;) Hope it all goes well for you, a fresh challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove your flower photos, especially the hibiscus/Chinese Lantern one which is so crisp and gorgeous!
You're crackin me up, Gail! LoL! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job. I hope it doesn't interfere too much with your picture-taking!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation.
ReplyDeleteWish you a wonderful career and continue to show us more beautiful pictures.
Congrats, Gail. So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't help with any id's on the flowers -- have not ever seen them before. Gorgeous!
