One potato two potato

I grow potatoes all the time but never let them flower before. Turns out they have very pretty little blooms.

Too blue!

These blue flowers were growing outside a Houlihan's restaurant. In real life they were too blue to photograph properly - so I decided to make a wash out of them. It's rare to find something that's actually too blue to be true.

Upsy Daisy!

I prefer photos of real flowers, but this yard sale vase and discount craft store daisies makes such a pretty centerpiece for a summer table, I couldn't resist.

What's the story, Morning Glory?

First appearance of Morning Glories on the vines. I love these blue flowers, but if I could talk to plants I would tell them spend less time making creeping vines and more time making pretty flowers.

Light and shadow

A black and white photo of a tree shows the intricate old growth. 

Spring snow

These flowers look like snow on the rocks. 

Aerial view?

This old stump looks like an alien landscape from high above.

Garden friends

It looked better in person - but I had to take this shot of a lady bug inspecting a cucumber flower. The curlicue of cucumber vine caught my eye and the sun and made for a charming little vignette - but it didn't translate as well to digital as I'd hoped. 

Go metallic

A little adjustment makes my favorite annual lilies into something shiny.

Happy clouds

Happy clouds are happy!

Peppermint candies!

These neighborhood flowers reminded me of a bowl of peppermint candies.

Desert rose

I'm not a big fan of cactus - but this little beauty could make me change my mind.

Secrets in the garden

The landscape of a leaf.

Happy Fourth!

A billowing flag at the park caught my attention. Hopefully despite our dismal choices in this upcoming presidential election, our flag will continue to fly proudly. 

Violets are blue

Here's another photo from the zoo - wild captive violets - or are they pansies? 

Forgive me if I double post, I sort of lost track of my photo list.
