Just feet from my door is the arbour we built...and the white wisteria that takes my breath away every year :-) The white variety also has an amazing fragrance that floats into the house in the evenings. Here is what it looks like outside the door at the entrance to the garden...
and here is my take on it..from below. This was my favourite of the day
The clusters continue to grow so long...up to almost two feet before they die off. You have to dip your head to go under them !
I'm a little late with this one but here are some lines from my favourite grass in my garden :-)
This is not my photo but one from my nephew in a distant land..
my amazing nephew and his mate who make us so proud. That's Teagan on the left. He writes that he is loving his time in Afghanistan and it is a beautiful country. Come home safe sweetie...
While unsuccessfully waiting to try to capture the hummingbirds in my garden I settled on the Golden Finches..AKA Greedy Guts. These bird feeders will put us in the poor house yet!!
last weekend when we were making the wedding invitations my son made Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon buns for the girls...lots of disappearing circles
I have never tasted anything to amazing..you have to make these...and don't be skimping on the butter etc...it is worth every finger lickin' calorie!
Click on the image...go on...dare you...
You never know what you will see on the river surface
very traditional sight in British Columbia ...
..and why I LOVE macro photography.
I would never have guessed the COMPLEX nature of a single dandelion seed unless I have seen this photo I took down by the river the other day. Can you see how COMPLEX the seed is? There are ridges which I would presume assist it to catch onto things as it floats away from the mother ship..and maybe they help it to dig into the earth to become a new dandelion next year? Whatever the reason...I love Macro!
Definitely click on this one!!!
this is another I took with different lighting..
Weeds can be very beautiful if you take the time to get to know them..just not in my garden please..LOL
I couldn't pick just one..so here are some blossoms from my garden
The first is actually my neighbours wisteria...which blooms like crazy on my side of the fence LOL. I am not sure why but I love the blown out look of this one.
My Clematis over the entrance to the veggie garden...
I lied...this is not in my garden, rather, it is in the drive of a house around the corner..they probably wondered what I was up to LOL. The pink dogwoods look like butterflys on the trees..love them
Sorry Ron....
When did my little niece become such a beautiful young ballerina? TIME and practice! This was her first ever Solo performance! She worked so hard and did an amazing job!
...I hate dislike indoor photography...just saying...
