Got up to photo 213...fabulous little town and its cool residents!
Will look at more later.
Interesting how some of the nicest agaves grow on vacant lots!
Thanks for posting that link Aaron.

I was tempted to take a few and plant them later. But I realy had hard time resisting the urge to dig up a A. parryi pup from the Pearce Cemetary.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I'd have a difficult time of that too, Aaron.
When I lived in Vancouver, I used to keep a shovel in my trunk for "specimens" that needed to go to my place.
Agree it'd be a nice visit...I especially like the feeling of total peace from the inhabitants and surroundings.

Like a puppy dog needs to find a home.

Cool pic, Aaron.
Looks like self-seeded dill everywhere?

An old adage..."if you plant dill, make sure you and your neighbors want it...forever".
I love the smell of dill but never plant it anymore.
