ABOVE: The Gaillardia or Blanketflower are starting to bloom. They prefer the normally drier weather of winter in Central Florida.
ABOVE: The gold Canadian Maple Leaf coin. Not exactly gardening . . .but I would never blog an Acer L. (Maple species) otherwise, as they do not occur at our latitude in numbers significant enough for me to ever encounter the species. The three coins I'm holding, above, are worth about $2,700.00 USD at today's price.
Guaranteed by the Government of Canada and traded in world markets since 1979, gold Canadian Maple Leaf coins have become some of the most desirable bullion coins in the world today. These coins are a hedge (a gamble) against the dollar and the economy. . .and inflation. . .all the things we've become so obsessed with in 2008.
The Royal Canadian Mint pioneered the concept of minting a gold coin without the need for a strengthening alloy in order to produce the gold Maple Leaf in extremely high purity. The coins are .9999 percent pure gold.
I was surprised by their weight. I held ten of the coins in one hand. . .and they were quite heavy.
Christmas Mountains
Decked out in reds, greens, blues and whites, this Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) image highlights the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Located above image center are the Christmas Mountains, a region of old-growth forest nestled in a remote wilderness. Within these hills are peaks named for eight of Santa’s reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen. Two other peaks are named North Pole and St. Nicholas.

The image combines data from the nadir camera’s blue, green, and near-infrared bands to produce this false-color view. Vegetation shows up in shades of red, and sediment in the Bay of Fundy (lower right) takes on a green color. Ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (upper right) and in frozen lakes and rivers appears in hues of blue and white. The picture includes parts of eastern Maine at the left and Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula at the top, and covers an area measuring 380 kilometers x 470 kilometers. It was acquired on March 8, 2001.

We've Read:
Romney looks sick. That under-the-table action may be a little nauseating. But then, he lost his dignity on the way in so what's a little nausea on top of some shameless groping and groveling? He hasn't figured out the Donald's MO yet. Its called "bait-and-switch". . .he baits the media with an "event" while pulling off an unconscionable scam on the public. Wake up people!
