There were six, I think. This shows how big they were. (The car is small, but still.) I can just see the line of trucks needed to cart the trolls, even in pieces, away.

Stunning photos of a stunning place. Love Filoli.
This is one of the trolls which, sadly, are leaving. (Can you imagine the crate needed to ship these things?)

I am out taking photos of rain drops on roses and who should show up but an adorable, multi-eyed Hairy Tufted Jumping Spider (Phidippus comatus), peeking around the rain covered petals. You never know who will say hi in the garden.

For #RedWed: a blossom of "Double Delight," a favorite rose and one of the few reddish ones that I really like.

For #ColorADay and the theme of #BlueTue, a triple blossom on Blue Dicks (Dipterostemon capitatus), a California native wildflower found along Mitchell Canyon of Mt. Diablo State Park in northern CA. But, honestly, who gives flowers these names?

Made little chocolate shortbread cookies to top my pudding-whipped cream dish using a cookie cutter from cookiecutter.com. Turned out fantastic for such a tiny cutter. #cookiecutter.com #cookies #cookiecutter
