Nicotia and Zinnias


Summer is Getting Along

 The ferns always  amaze me. Out of this tiny little rolled up package come these magnificent fronds.
I have a weakness for sedum. They are like flowers even of they don't bloom.

oh Deer

If you look really closely you can see the deer along the bush. I was driving home down a back road, slowly, to soak up the harvest scene and the golden late afternoon sunshine when I spotted them. I need a zoom lens on my phone!

A Gate


I picked berries today at a friend's farm. I liked their gate. The raspberries were pretty good too.

Dew Drops

The humidity is very high. I find it curious that the grassy things collect drops but the begonias and ivy are quite dry.

Shot in the Dark

The capability of this little phone to take pictures continues to amaze me. Now if only it had a zoom lens...

Rain on Succulent Flower

There was a thunderstorm early this morning. It blew by before the sunrise and we now have a glorious summer day.
 I am sometimes amazed at the quality of picture one can obtain with just sn android phone. My Canon rebel couldn't focus this well closeup.  I think I would have to have a macro lens, not just the setting on the dial.

organic window screen

I haven't seen the spider that spun it but it is a handsome web in our garage window

Summer Flowers

Its almost the peak of flower season.  Alas! So short. We actually have over a month of prime growing left yet but already the days are getting shorter.

Begonia


Pots on the Deck

I took the picture with my phone, tweaked it with Picture Guru, dropboxed it to my computer and added the edge shading in Photoshop.  Gotta love technology.

Light and Dark

Morning sunshine at this time of year is so very welcome.
I love pictures like this, where part of the room is in total shadow by comparison to the brilliance of the light. I took this with my phone, and am impressed with the way it turned out. My phone and I are just getting to understand eachother.
