Saturday's Sunshine....not!

Sometimes I take a photo and think that it would be great for Photo a Day.  I think it is so nice for that spot then I never get it posted.  Today it is cold, rainy, gloomy and apt to stay cold all day so I will share a photo of warm sunshine in protest.

I do need to consolidate my blogs. I just don't want to loose my friendly and not so friendly followers.

Weathered but still strong.......

I like to think of some of the flowers as sculptural forms in a natural state. The crown of little yellow flowers fascinates me as it seems so out of place but is needed to make the flower more colorful.

Ten years ago........

we will never forget the when, the why and the who of the tragic events of that day. As the names continue to be read of all those who lost their lives, my heart goes out to all those families who abruptly lost their loved ones.

Empty hull.........like a spaceship.

My last bloom of the hibiscus is gone.  It falls out of the bud head and leaves this form behind, the shriveled flower to fall on the ground.  Then the seed head starts to form deep inside the empty form.

A Labor Day Blossom.......

Revisiting a blooming hollyhock.......

I am using my my wife's Cannon Power Shot for now and you can see the difference in the quality of pictures that I am now posting.  The same hollyhock plant with another bloom is shown here as a sculptural form.  It is a good camera.

Saturday's butterfly........

I have not seen a large variety of butterflies this year like I did last year.  I hope that next year we will see a larger variety again.  This particular butterfly is doing well as there seems to be a dozen of them enjoying the nectar of the zinnia's.

A peaceful Friday........

People are winding down today as they know that a three day weekend is on the way.  The morning glory bloom was taken in 97 degree temperatures in the afternoon.  It was just about ready to fold up after it's one and only showing.
