Happy Fall, Y'all

I just love fall. The colors are so amazing. I also get to play with my camera alot again, because it is so easy to find wonderful things to photograph.

I love that lime green and orange combination.

That brown pagoda is cool. I have a few in my yard and want to try that color on them.
Happy Fall, Y'all

Contrasting Colors

My garden is taking a beating lately from all the heat. There is not much to photograph right now, but I found this little guy. I thought he was cute and that the lime green looked really great against all that purple. I hope he wasn't thinking that he is camouflaged. :o)

Just Because It's Tuesday

I haven't taken pictures of my flowers in several weeks. The irises are gone, but now my day lilies are blooming.
So just because it's Tuesday, I thought I would play with my camera.
Here are a few pictures of my favorite peach colored day lilies.
Wait a minute, do I see a nose in the corner of that picture?
I think I do. Is it one of my favorite, flower sniffing, dirty nosed, black colored corgis??? Yup, that's Jenna.
And look, there's my other favorite black corgi, Rush!
What a pretty boy. :o)

Tuesday Is A Good Day For Flowers

Since today is Tuesday, I thought it was a good day to post a few of my recent spring flower pictures . . .




Here's my little buddy smelling the flowers again.

Saturday Scavanger Photo Hunt

This week's theme was Twisted. I had the pleasure of watching robins build a nest in a maple tree next to my back deck. I was fascinated at the complexity of the nest and how all the materials were "twisted" together.

Of course, I had a great time being so close. I removed one small tree branch and was easily able to watch them develop. I took lots of pictures every chance I could get.
I was surprised at how short the time period was for the babies to be in the nest. The whole process, from when they hatched to when they flew away, was about 10 days. Both the male and female fed the babies.
I was sad to see them fly away. I had bonded with my baby robins. I tried to care of them and make sure the hawks or cats did not get them. Now my babies never call, they never write . . . .

Snowdrops


While blog browsing, I came across these wonderful photos. I love snowdrops. They always remind that spring is just around the corner. My mother used to grow bunches of them in Ohio when I was a kid. I thought they were wild flowers because she had them planted everywhere. I remember that one year I picked a huge bouquet of them and proudly presented them to her. That was when she clued me in on the fact that they were not meant to be picked.

Signs of Life

An afternoon stroll in my yard revealed that my Daffodils are starting to come up, which was surprising. It is only February 2nd!

Here are my strolling buddies.
