Coleus

At least I think it is Coleus... not much of a gardener so correct me if I am wrong.

Anyway, two plant posts in a row, but this particular leaf really struck me as being quite beautiful.

Purple impatients

Sometimes just a simple picture of flowers is nice to capture. Our challenge with these plants is they seem to be a favorite of the deer. We find the blossoms neatly snipped just below the flowers leaving just the green stems. But deer have to eat too.

Old state capitol

The Louisiana state capitol is in Baton Rouge. This is a view of the "old" Louisiana state capitol and its  spectacular central stairway. As you can see it is an almost unbelievable riot of color and decoration. Really something to behold.

And this is the "new" state capitol... which is nearly 100 years old, so not really all that new is it? Its claim to  fame is that the building is the tallest of the 50 state capitol buildings. It is currently being renovated, so the scaffolding, and the porta potties.
