The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

[Lady Cannafan]

One last couple of pics, I'm getting really tired of this computer today. Need to give my ol' eyes a break.

I found some wild roses today, never knew those were around either:

That's it for tonights' episode. I have more pics to resize etc., hopefully will get to them tomorrow sometime.

Thanks for popping in ya'll.

What ever the lanky plants are called they are common around here. They have a fun Dr. Seuss vibe to them. I learned about using them to make dye when we did a mini-unit on traditional Navajo rug weaving back in the sixth grade. Don't you dare call me a pedant! Oh, when you boil them it stinks to high heaven. They practically had to evacuate the whole wing of classrooms when we did it.

No name calling going on here, but I'm giggling quite well.

Or maybe it's the meds....

That sounds like an interesting process for sure. It's awesome the way people have learned to use what the earth provides in different cultures.

Wow Canna your yard is magnificent. I understand why you stay during the winter now.....

Thank you Dennise! Hopefully all of these pictures will keep me planted this coming winter with thoughts of the next summers' rewards.

I have a webpage online with all of these pictures posted too. That's for sharing with family though. ;-)

Have a great day.

I have lots of pictures coming this weekend. Everything is blooming like crazy.
Here's a Tea-ser on my Tea roses. ;-)

Some pretty pics coming up and then I get to split logs today. My Pops brought me his log splitter so I don't have to go swinging axes around. LOL

I went to a Family BBQ yesterday and got some beautiful Lily's and a few other things from their garden. These red ones were so deep red that I could not stop staring at them:

And some Pink:

Back at the Ranch I found some more wild daisies while I was trying to sneak up on a Great Blue Heron on the edge of the pond. He eluded me, he's got some sharp eyes which explains how he catches those fish. Maybe I'll sit in the hunting blind this afternoon and try to get a shot after my wood splitting is done.

Here's one of my red roses. We've had plenty of rain this season, so the roses are doing much better because they don't have the sprinkler hitting them with that hard iron water.

And a couple more shots of the tea roses that are also doing well:

I have lots of Hostas planted around the yard and they are just starting to bloom out:

The final variety of Lily's on the edge of the pond are in full swing. These look like the old style radars/satellite dishes with that one long tendril shooting straight out. The dragon flies love to land on those.

Last set for this morning, Cacti and other pretties:

Just a few more before I get to work. I'm procrastinating this morning.

My walk was productive. These first two are for Lester, it's not the snapper I've been trying to get a shot of. It is a distant cousin, I'm sure.

These box turtles have a breeding ground at the coyote chow line area every year:

I have painted turtles here too. I'm sure I'll get some pics of those before the season is over.

This dude took almost 20 minutes before he stopped somewhere long enough for some snap shots:

Then I had a little fun with water droplets. Here's how they look "dropping":

Now let's change it up a bit, rotating upside down. First one looks like some creature I can't quite put my finger on:

And this one resembles a happy frog:

 

[Lester Freeman]

Your photography is simply amazing~!

 

[PeeJay]

What Lester said, yup. Visually stunning.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Okay, I'm on a break. LOL

This next series reminds me of a poem, a favorite. So here's some trivia with one line from it:

"As the dew kisses the morning grass..."

Who recited it? And no fair checking google!

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Remember these from last week?

This is what they flowered into:

Back to wood splitting. Blech!
