Pee Gee and crape myrtle drooping after the rain.

Lastly here's a shy sunflower with a funky do, trying to hide his face, yet sticking his tongue out to you.

Such beautiful pix everyone.
Tex lilies are stunning
Karen .Great lily
Robindog Do you use a straight oe serrated knife to cut those berries for serving. LOL

Beautiful flowers Tex!!!
Allison, do you use a bird cam or some such? Love the hummer, humming bird moth and Blue jay shots. You have quite a few swallow tails as well. Very nice.

Nice lilies Tex,
Allison those hummer shots are fantastic!!

I do have a bird cam... but those were taken with my regular camera... the bird cam does not trip to take the photos with the hummers... guess they are too small for the sensor

did you spot your Angelique Celeste?

No, I was looking at the birds!! LOL

the one is only a few inches tall... but very pretty... the other you sent with that one is starting to open as well

Nice pix everyone.
Here are my echoes for today
http://picasaweb.google.com/jgentle4/ColorEchoesJuly18

It's been an amazing year for blooms, and you have all posted great pix.

Tex, your lilies are the best. Your other flowers are lovely as well. Your efforts have paid off. Are you plagued with lily beetle? If you are, what is your secret? I have to keep after them all the time and don't always succeed.

And onewish, I just love your hummingbird photos. I am not sure I've ever seen one in person.

I am loving everyone's flowers, I hardly have anything going on here, seems the heat really did everything in.

Allison, great hummer shots!!!

Karen nice shot of 'Stargazer', one of my favs and just popping open today.
Onewish wonderful pics as usual. Beautiful butterflies,blue jays and cute little guy on a swing made me smile.
Tex lilies and roses are gorgeous. Specially liked 'Madame Butterfly',peek-a-boo sunflower and is clem Franziska really that blue?
JoAnn more nice combos of color from your garden. The second pot particularly is very nice even if it is sideways, the color and leaf combo is very pleasing to the eye.

Found this immature hummer next to our kitchen deck.

Heres another.

And another shot; she didnt fly much and just sat there for quite sometime until mama bird took her to the apple tree.

Great bird shots, Allison & Rama! Karen, those OT lilies are probably Conca d'or....the beetles haven't bothered them as much as the other lilies.

Fantastic youthful hummers

Oh how cute is that little guy. I like that...stayed put until Mom came to get her.

love the name of this thread!!

nice hummer photo's

love the young hummer!!!

Gorgeous photos, everyone! Celeste - you are helping me add some pinks to my "lookout for these" list....those are all tickling me pink! LOL And Bellaboo is a cutie poo!

Here is Enon's first bloom (from Celeste...thanks so much!)

Beautiful! I think it likes N.H. ^_^

Yes, it does seem to like the company it's keeping (more Celeste relatives). LOL

LOL Bill, just looked at the thread title...and you didn't help??

Oh my that is a beauty Louise and sure does look very happy up there in N.H.

Thanks, Pat! My jaw dropped when I saw that it had opened. I've been waiting for it, as I had no idea what it would look like. Happy Camper here!

My glads started to bloom today....will try to paint some in class Tues., but glads can be stiff-looking, so maybe not.....

That one's a beauty, Marilyn! I love glads. We never got ours planted this year. :(

Love glads and those are very pretty. Maybe adding something softer will make them look more architectural instead of stiff in the painting. I think they would be nice in a picture either way.

Beautiful glads!!

Thanks guys. Marilyn, like the color on those glads.
DB love the color on that day lily, pretty and vivid.

LOVE those glads, the coloring is awesome

love the glads!!!

Thanks....they are from Brent & Becky's.
