the blue shades look lovely... and * misty *

we actually need mist and water here. hard to believe with all the storms, although the rains were all around us, we didn't seem to get much. Ugggh, I hate the thought of having to water again... the weather couldn't be nicer though. sunny and just beautiful. Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend!

We took the Riverline train to the Camden waterfront (Wiggins Park) yesterday and it was quite nice. Took a peak in the back of the Camden's Children's Garden while we were there too. It is located right next to the aquarium, which is huge!! Despite all the negative press Camden gets, this part of Camden is maintained really nice. Great view of Philly and the Ben Franklin Bridge too.

Here are a few bloom pics taken yesterday. I hope to snap a few more later

1) Asiatic lily 'Landini'
2) daylily 'Apricot Beauty'
3) Korean bellflowers
4) Hemerocallis 'Bela Lugosi'
5) patch of monarda at the veggie garden gate
