I decided to participate last minute in the Round Robin Photo Challenge.  Yeah, so last minute that I'm actually late.  Hahaha.  That's okay, according to the rules of play, late is alright. 

I took these photos today in my yard.  The water on them is really rain, not water I sprinkled from the hose.  It rained most of the morning.  I went out in the early afternoon, before it got really hot.  (And it did indeed get REALLY hot).  

We are asked to write a little about the power that flowers have in our lives.   I guess the thing that inspires me most about my flowers is their colors.  I marvel at the richness and depth of the yellows, oranges and reds.  I enjoy looking at my Hydrangea bush to see if they are all blue or if there is a hint of lavender in there ~ and this year there is!

My flowers are all perennials, except for the one flat of Impatiens that I bought.  They don't really have all that much fragrance, for that I am sorry.  I really think I should concentrate in the future on picking up some new flowers that have more smell to them!   I don't cut any of my flowers and bring them in the house, I prefer to leave them where they grow.  Don't get me wrong, I love cut flowers in the house, I just don't have the right kinds in my yard for that.  

Enjoy the power of the flowers!    Peace.

tuesday/blue

 

took this about six hours ago from my backyard.  i tried over and over to catch the terrific lightning that was flashing, but alas, the shutter is just too slow on this camera.  better luck next storm!

monday/yellow

came across color week last week at {love, joleen} the blog
i thought it groovy
 
basically, you photograph something of the chosen
color and post a photo each day
 
 
this week i came across  (what i think is)  color week 3
 
i'm just playing catch-up, since it is  (technically)  already wednesday.
 
the colors this time are as follows:
monday - yellow
tuesday - blue/turquoise
wednesday - green
thursday - white, brown or black
friday - orange
saturday - red, purple or pink

Tomorrow is the last day of school - YAY!

 

I'm hoping that we have plenty basketball, bike riding and splashing-in-the-pool days ahead of us!  Tomorrow is the last day of school, and the first day of summer!  Make it a memorable one!

Plain and simple

Feline Friday - Jinker the stinker!

Jinx was so funny on this day last weekend! 
As I was weeding and tending to
certain things in the yard, he was
following me around and stalking me
from the various flower
beds and assorted shrubbery. 
 
At one point, I found him eating some weeds
(I suppose he did want to help me get my work
finished more quickly!) and then I caught him
up under the roof of Beau's playhouse!  I got a
shot of that, too, which I will post later.
 
This shot happened to find Jinx lying in my
largest perennial garden...sticking his tongue right out
at me!!!  I swear he was saying "neener, neener, boo boo!"
    What a nut!
 
This week, you may visit Steven and Pickle's
guest hosts (while they take a little vacation). 
You can find Carly and Elvis
Leave your link, and visit the others!  Enjoy!
