On a Walk

Summer is making the flowers turn brown. 

Although some of them are trying to hold on.

Wishing you beauty in the last days of summer,

Sharon

Butterflies and Bees

Mom has a good friend visiting from out of town this week 

so M and I took them down to the White River Gardens.  

The first thing to see is the butterfly exhibit.  

Then it is on to the gardens.  

As always I am fascinated by the bees on the flowers.

See you soon,

Sharon

Spring in the Neighborhood

I went for a walk around the neighborhood 

to see if I might find something different to take a photo of for my 365 Day blog.

I found beautiful things I don't have in my own garden.

I found some that I do have.

I found a Sweet Gum tree that is not leafing out yet 

and, for Raewyn, those spiky things from the Sweet Gum on the ground. 

I found more lovely daffodils,

but the shot I liked the best came from my own backyard. 

A Little Spring

Day 20 of the June Challenge:  Water 

For today's photo I chose the bubbly fountain we just installed in our little alcove.

Since yesterday was filled with summer photos, and I'd like to get caught up by the end of June, today I will share some photos from my yard from back in April when spring was just emerging.

Good bye, spring.  Hello, summer.

See you tomorrow,

Sharon

Summertime

Corn on the cob definitely means Summertime to me.

Day 19 of the June Challenge.

The thought of summertime inspired me to go outside and take some more pictures. 

The daylilies are in bloom,

the coreopsis is in bloom,

and the tiny Johnny jump-ups are in bloom.

Wishing you a wonderful summer,

Sharon

Party time

Little E and I hosted a quilting party at my house this week.

There were flowers.

And snacks.

There were cupcakes for dessert.

There was lots of show and tell and prizes.

It was so much fun.

Wishing you lots of fun,

Sharon
