Dahlia
I had two dahlias last summer, and one disappeared completely. I think something ate it. I don’t even remember what color it was, but I don’t think it was as pretty as this one. This one sometimes looks more yellow, sometimes more pink – depends on the stage of the blossom. Right now there are not many flowers blooming in my garden, so this one is getting a lot of attention.
Little Cukes
We have cucumbers! I don’t know if there will be enough for pickling, but I’m happy to get what I get. This is a tiny one – there are a couple of other plants in the garden that are a little farther along. I’ve observed big, black carpenter bees pollinating the flowers on these plants. Thanks, bees!
In Your Face Iris!
I have no idea what this flower is called, or even if it is actually an iris, but it looks like some sort of iris and it obviously wants to be noticed. I couldn’t help but notice it while walking to the post office. There was a whole row of these tropical-looking plants right in front of the bowling alley, beckoning me to drop in for a mai-tai served in a tiki mug. I actually don’t know if they do that there, but they should!
I took dozens of photos of objects around the house with my DSLR, intending to use one as my photo of the day here, but I ended up deleting all of them in a fit of disgust, so this cell phone Instagram photo is doing double duty.
Katydid!
Yes, Katy did it. She’s the one who has been leaving chomp marks in my daisies!
Swirl
A morning glory flower, waiting for its time in the sun.
Lily
Calla
Calla lily, being all elegant and such.
Best Exotic Marigold
Actually, I was taking a photo of the tiny bee on the marigold. It’s SO tiny! I thought it was a fly at first. I have no idea what kind of bee this is.
Bloom
This rose bush has been blooming like crazy since last week. Maybe all the banana peels I’ve been burying out in the garden have made a difference. I had a macro adapter on the lens when I shot this, and I also used a lomo filter in Photoshop.
