Green explosion........

Are you getting tired of my red, orange, and peach flowers?  Maybe this will give your eyes a chance to rest on this hosta. Green and yellow green is a nice change.

Two points of view........

When I get excited about seeing the new color in the garden, I just start shooting because I see color. Then I get my brain reworked a little and say let's go for the design this time with some perspective.  One can like them both as each view has it's purpose.

Red.......

I don't have a filter to get red to work on my camera, but sometimes it just catches it correctly anyway.

This is how it takes red normally and I just take for granted that it is going to pick up a yellow for light red. These geraniums are doing so well in our rainy season and hot temps.

Macro Moss Rose.......

It seems to rain every 12 hours or so. It is Friday morning and we received almost a inch more of rain.  It is over now and will be hot and muggy the rest of the day. The moss rose really would like it to keep raining.

Clematis.......

The rain caused the clematis to droop so I had to take a photo of it upside down, pointing the camera upwards. The foliage with backlighting creates a special effect.

Red Lily Day.......

We had another rain in the afternoon and I could tell by the radar that it would be done in less than twenty minutes.  We had sunshine and out I went to capture this Asian Lily.  It is the only bud that it developed on the stem so I didn't want to miss out on getting a shot of it.

I bought the bulb  in bloom from a man in Grand Marais, Minnesota probably seven summers ago.  It was at a Saturday farmers market and I love attending the ones that they have up there. The nice man apparently bought the bulbs and planted them individually in quart size pots and sold them to people like me.  I am a sucker for red so paying out four bucks for one of these was easy for me.  Even the two for seven dollars tempted me.

I do think I will move this after it is finished blooming as I want to it grow and enlarge and where I have it nothing seems to change.

"Knock Out" rose.......

Another photo of my yellow Knock Out Rose.  It really does photograph well.  This rose tends to have a weathered look once it opens.  A camera on macro setting can redeem it a little.
Our blogger was down for almost 24 hours so I haven't been able to comment on anyone's blog. Maybe I can work double fast to catch up with viewing your wonderful posts.
