Winter hues are coming through and they are so beautiful! The greens and yellows are disappearing and the reds and pinks are coming through. I have never noticed how incredible semps are until I started paying attention to them.

Another Tectorum sp.

Gorgeous!

They're beautiful Patti!

Quite a family of little chicks there too Patti , you'll be overrun by this time next year !

Lovely! Flamingo is really a beautiful semp.

Beautiful photos Patti. It is sure fun to be able to see semps at the same time of year around the world. Summer/winter.

Thanks guys! They're such cuties and so hardy! I love the way the pups roll up into little balls and hibernate. I think they love my climate as long as they are in dappled summer shade.

Yes Lynn we are headed for a harsh dry El Nino winter. I will enjoy watching everyone else enjoying the summer
