Yellow flower

I found these pretty yellow flowers outside of LA Wines yesterday while hubby was inside shopping.  I don't know what they are...any ideas?

Garden update...

Sorry I've been AWOL for a while.  Our beloved German Shepherd died during winter break and I was just devastated.  He had been diagnosed with canine lupus and basically the disease just shut down his system.  He stopped eating and got very weak and while we were up in northern California for a family reunion, he just gave up.  I felt so guilty leaving him alone at home, but we only have this family gathering with my husband's family once a year, during Christmas, and our son stayed behind (he started a new job) and was feeding the dogs every day and keeping an eye on Rommel. We arrived home in time to see him live for 5 minutes before he died.  I felt so badly that I haven't done anything around the house or yard until yesterday.  My garden is nearly non-existent.  It's been so hot that my sweet peas are kaput.  I didn't plant anything else except for some California poppy seeds and a few sunflower seeds that I put out back along the dog fence.  While it's been too hot for the sweet peas, they are sprouting.  The wildflowers out front are developing nicely and I see lupines, poppies, and some other flowers among the greenery.  I noticed a few early wildflowers along Highway 74, which goes from Palm Desert up into our local mountains.  It's very early for them and last year they didn't bloom until March!

More roses~Nature Notes~121511

It rained here in the desert Monday night and since I was still sick with my flu, I slept in Tuesday morning until about 8:00 a.m.   That's LATE for someone like me, who usually gets up at 4:30 am!!!  But, by 8:00, the rain had stopped and I wanted to drive to our nearby park, set up my tripod, and take some photos of the roses with raindrops on them.  So I did!  I was dismayed to see that many roses have been pulled off and thrown on the ground carelessly by people who frequent the park.  Some have been bent...sigh...But, at least for now, there are many, many flowers and buds still on the bushes and I'll continue to visit them as often as I can.  I appreciate their beauty, their grace, and their color!  Nature Notes for December 15, 2011.  All roses are at the Palm Desert civic center park. Don't you love their color and variety?  To visit Nature Notes, please go to:  http://ramblingwoods.com/

Water on pansy~Macro Monday~121211

I was waiting for my friend Susan a couple of weekends ago because we were heading up to the horse ranch and she was coming to help me groom a couple of the horses.  I looked down and saw that some of the flowers on the divider strip on one of the streets had beautiful flowers and the sprinklers had just turned off.  I focused on this pansy, with the water droplets sitting on the top of it.  Isn't it beautiful?  Macro Monday for December 12, 2011.

Yellow rose~Mellow Yellow Monday~120511

Once again, I spent the morning down at my local park, taking photos of the roses there.  I now do this every weekend and I'm constantly discovering new angles and lighting situations.  I find this very relaxing.  The ducks are out, the fountain is on, people are out walking their dogs...it's a very pleasant way to begin the day!  Mellow Yellow Monday for December 5, 2011.  To visit MYM, please follow this link:  http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/

Light pink rose~Flowers on Saturday~120311

I found this pretty pink rose in the city's rose garden.  I like to take my camera down there and just take photos of their roses, since I can't grow any of my own!  Flowers on Saturday for December 3, 2011. To visit Flowers on Saturday, please go to:  http://blueberrycraftandhobbytime.blogspot.com/
