Dill Seed

My Dill has gone to seed.
I grew it this year mainly as a fun plant, often I find myself reaching out to touch it so that I can get a good whiff of it....I usually end up wandering around the yard smellin' like a pickle!!

Letting Go

Here's that same cool weed (previous post) releasing its feathery soft seeds into the winds and spreading its coolness throughout the neighborhood.
Wonder if the neighbors will enjoy it as much as I have? :)

A Touch of Color

Cool looking weed out in the backyard :)

Dahlia

I didn't have to much luck with my Dahlias this year, very few blooms and when they did bloom they were all so gimpy, so when I spotted this one I thought maybe theres still a chance for them to blossom as they should, I can only hope :)

Contrast

I love how the ferns look against the freshly laid bed of red cedar mulch.

Shine

Out and about at one of my favorite places, Quabbin Reservoir. (and sis I did call, you weren't home)
Seen a rainbow on my way here, spotted a few deer, but the serenity of this place is truly what draws me there, it almost felt like the sun was shining just for me, what a wonderful feeling :)

Panoramic View

My first attempt at stitching two photos :)
Waiting for the sunset atop Enfield lookout, Quabbin Reservoir.

Time Has Past

Sad to say time has past for the Wild Black-eyed Susans that grow out in my backyard.
But I think of all the seeds scattering in the winds.....settling down over winter......sprouting their roots in the spring.....and with summer, another proud display of golden sunshine.....til next year......:)

POW!

The new close-up lens is working pretty good!
Moody Monday-Centered

Wet & Wild

Try and get a 2 year old to stay still......yeah right!
Wish I had all her energy :-)

Rose of Sharon

My sisters Rose of Sharon is absolutely gorgeous, even the rain couldn't keep me away from it!

Seeing Beyond

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them"
-Elliot Erwitt

Fairy Garden

When sis is away, this sis is gonna play!
Sis and hubby are gone for the week, went to visit mom who's housesitting for them, and well....I just had to go out and play in her many gardens! (with camera in hand, of course!)

The Blues

More photoshop creativity, my guitar.
Only wish it were as easy to play as it is to photograph......gotta run, must go & practice :)

Corner Design

Something a little different for me, taken at the local college in an entrance way to the auditorium. The architecture of the old buildings are gorgeous and I couldn't pass up the chance to try and capture some of the beauty :)

Sharing

Don't you just love it when the neighbors share their flowers!

Sunny

I know I'll probably overdo it with all the sunflower posts, but I can't help it :) My sister has the best ones & I whenever I visit, a new one is always in bloom!
Lens Day-Yellow

Untwisted

Morning has broken..........well I couldn't show you the buds (previous post) and not show you them in their full glory! :)

Twisted

Guess we'll have to wait 'til morn, to see the glories untwist their beauty to the world!

Calendula

Trying to be artistic in photoshop :-)

Bursting Sunflower

My sister sure has some cool looking sunflowers!

Reflections

I took my niece and nephew for a walk down to the river by thier house, so with a 2 year old on my hip and a 10 year old hanging over the bridges rail I attempted to take a few shots.....

Under the Sun

My sisters sunflowers are starting to bloom like crazy, reaching for the sun.
They're gorgeous against the blue skies of summer.

Golden Sunset

Pretty intense sunset tonight, after a few thunderstorms blew through (bringing with it much cooler air :) we were blessed with an awesome golden sunset.

Pear Tree

As I walk through my yard (camera in hand of course) I'm often pulled to the pear tree with the moss creeping up its rough & deeply designed bark, so after I take a few shots, I reach up snag a pear......a little sweet, a little tart...but, ohhhh so good! :)
