Georgia Font

These are the fonts available for my blog. This line is the default font. If I use the bold setting (as in this line) it makes no difference in the appearance.  Italic shows up like this.

Backyard Cypress Vine

The blossoms are tiny and an intense deep red.  These photos show the pollen coming from their centers and landing on their petals.   Here you can barely see how tiny they are, hidden in the vines.  We had beautiful pink rosebushes climbing up the trellis but for the several past years they did not do well. Here is one from behind.
