I have now posted the picture I really wanted…believe it or not, we are in Sequim. Yes, rainy Washington has some dry spots. We are in the rainshadow of the Olympics. If you read information about Sequim, you will find the average rainfall is generally listed as between 17-19 inches a year. This cactus is reported by the oldsters to be native to this area. Thanks to all who visited and guessed at the temporary picture I posted (see thumbnail below) I was in Music City, Nashville, TN, at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Now on to the rest of the world….for May 1, 2007 Theme Day.

Hollywood? Welcome back home, Norma.
Good one Norma! It’s like a self-portrait and your very own gold disc rolled into one.
Looks like you got a gold record.
My Theme Day portrait is of the “Peashooter” and the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.
Harry, it’s already May!
Good one, Lavenderlady.
For you, Norma – I vote we add another day to April…Some months I need it too 😉
Hi, Norma!
Hmm…It’s a Ray Charles gold disc…are you somewhere in Georgia??
oh… no idea… but i think Tara is pretty close to the right answer!!
Welcome back Norma! 🙂
this anti-spam words on wordpress comment boxes crease me up sometimes
this one was
unpretentious
after that any comment from me is superfluous
It’s a paramount gold record…I’m clueless.
My spam word was “civilization”.
Check out my theme day pic:

I got in late to the list.
Have a great day!!!
Hey Hollywood: I’m running behind like you are! With three different sets of friends on my island, Maui, …I’ve been super busy and eating far too much with too many festivities. Where did April go anyway! Good photo rescue! Can you guess mine?
I had inside information so I did not guess on your Nashville photo. However, that same inside information would have lead me to believe your cactus was from Texas. So much for insider information.
I didn’t know WA state has dry spots. Thanks for the information/lesson.
Ah, I’m glad the waiting is over. Welcome back.
I’ve always heard of the rain shadow in Washington. And now I’ll always think of you when I think of the rain shadow.
