Milkweed and Dewdrops

There was rain in the afternoon, till after dark, so I am not sure if these are dew drops, or rain drops.

Which view do you prefer?

Peony Pods

The peony blossoms are a memory till next spring, but the pods are still here.

Damselfly

I love watching the dragonflies, but I find they never sit still long enough for me to capture them.

This fellow was willing to sit on a stalk of sweet clover long enough for me to get half a dozen images.

Thank you to everyone who explained the difference between dragonflies and damselflies!!!

Absract

I am back into my rust file, looking for today's abstract images.

Lambs Ears

Lambs ears are such odd looking plants in general, but when they bloom,

they just look like aliens...

Birdsfoot Trefoil

A couple of the nice things about walking first thing in the morning are the dew, and the low angle of the sun, shining through the petals of the flowers.

Of course, you have to get right down low, to get the sun shining through the birdsfoot trefoil blossoms...

Old Photos

This is my Mom's school photo, from about 1930. My uncle is the boy wearing a tie, and Mom is the girl at the right end of that same row.

Morning Glory and Grass

There are some morning glories growing in the grass beside the path,

and I love watching the vines creep up around the grass.

It's just something about the straight lines of the grass stalks, and the curves of the vines...

 

Abstract

You take a glass bowl with some paint speckles, and some peony petals, and what do you get?

Milkweed

I have been saving up a month of milkweed images,

waiting for the buds to develop and the blossoms open.

Now the fields smell so sweet!!!

I am linking this with Nature Footstep Blo-Ma,

so come and visit all the blossoms.

Canada Day

Highway of Heroes

 

Canadian Please

 

Fogarty's Cove

 

I have never tried posting music before, but tomorrow is Canada Day, and I have been doing a number of things differently, so here are three of my favourites.
There is no video of Stan Rogers, as he has been gone 31 years now. I remember listening to so much of his music when I was a very confused, very new mother.

I hope you enjoy these...

Old Photos

Fifty some odd years ago, my sister and I tried to push my Dad out of bed.

It didn't work.

Catalpa

The catalpa trees are blooming,

and photographing them is a good excuse to stand and inhale the fragrance.

I love the ruffly edges of the blossoms!
