For a change. I’m tired of whacked knee pictures. I would much rather look at pretty pictures of anything rather than old bunged up knees.
I took a bit of a walk around last night because I was getting cabin fever. So I grabbed up the camera and gimped out the door.
A baby gourd.
It’s bigger sibling. This is so exciting. We have tried to grow gourds before and for some reason have had no luck. Carol started this gourd plant from seed and then put the plant in one of her barrels. Might have something to do with good soil, do you think?
A bright canna caught my eye and when I walked over closer…
I found this… the birth of a canna bloom. I really liked how the sun, coming from behind the plant, looked trying to almost come through the leaves.
Our pink hibiscus. Like me, a late bloomer.
A butterfly visiting the zinnias.
Some more zinnias.
Blanket flowers. I love these flowers. The new buds, the flowers and the seed heads are all interesting. I’m hoping this plant triples for next year.
Too much fun. Can you imagine what I could do if I had a camera that I could take macro shots of some of this stuff? I’ll have to start planning for that goal.
And I caught this downy through the front window last week. Working on the sunflower seedhead.
Sunflowers… the flowers that keep on giving.
How wonderful is this world we live in… Keeps me going, for sure.
