Watch it CaveMan,
Oh I agree it is a Sunflower head, but it might be 14 inches accrossed or just an inch. She is a tricky one and uses the powers of mag-nif-a-ma-gishin real well. lol -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member

Too funny Woody!!  It is a sunflower head, good job guys! This sunflower is one of the larger ones (Russian) measuring 11 inches or so across. It was over 6' tall.  After they die, I pick them and hang them in the house to dry out so I can remove the seeds later. They make great ornaments.

This is the smallest butterfly I have ever seen. They always come in when I am working with water, thirsty little guys. It is only the size of a quarter.

Here is a close up of a very unusual guest for this time of year. This year has been crazy warm for winter so far and here is some more proof. I was doing yard work around the house and came a crossed this. I can never remember seeing a Black Widow in December before. This guy was the biggest I have ever seen. No doubt she has had a longer growing season this year.
I guess this must be the exact opposite of a "white Christmas" lol, Woody.

... just got caught up on this thread
Beautiful hoar frost pics Denise! You have to be a morning person to get those.  Spiders freak me out though, especially the Black Widows. Had them when I lived in Boulder and Eldorado Springs, some very large too. Yours is larger than average but not huge judging from some that I've encountered in Eldo. All I can say is... glad I live up here now - not in their climate zone anymore.  When I was working at the ranch on one of the old cabins this fall I got bit on the side of the neck by a large spider and was not able to identify it... maybe an orb spider. I think it got stuck in my collar and panicked then bit me. Got me good and that damn bite itched and festered for the next two weeks! Had to keep putting Neosporin on it to keep from getting infected. 100% healed now but my spidey sense is strangely acute.

Too funny Chris! Even though your spidey sense is strangely acute, I wouldn't try to scale any walls.
 You are right, I am a early morning person....who is up almost all hours of the night trying to keep the fire going to stay warm. It is -8 right now but 66 inside.
