Garden Photos 1 picture per day #86

i only put down a covering now - i've noticed in some places it is a few inches deep and i've been raking it out and using it for a base on new beds

Another frigid day.
Lily First Crown. I cant wait to see this one again.

Me either! Nice and bright, great picture Ge!!
I'll go with bold and bright too.....

Beautiful Pixie

Nice colors!!

Shirley Temple

off to a good start with the photos ladies!!!

Love Shirley!!!! As a kid I watched all her movies too :)

Me too Celeste!

Gorgeous flowers and colors this morning!

Here's Firestar, from Buggy Crazy:

Nice! I love Buggy Bulbs!

Love those lilies & DLs...the peony is nice, also....I need one more peony for my garden....here is one I've had for awhile......

red baron

WOW Bill thats a nice collection and planting.

I put down mulch early and heavy last year. I had less weeds but the ones that made it through were tenacious.

Galore, Anna Louise and John Huxtable adorning the fence and arbor.

So many blooms.

Ragoochi.

Great plant and gorgeous photo, Victor.

Love Marilyn's peony and the angle of the shot, Louise's clem's and Bill's JM, too.

Bill, I would love one of the birdhouses but also love your mushrooms

How about something for my new fairy garden????


This is blackeyed stella

this one is from Celeste

Victors clem made me want some last summer when he posted it.
This is one of my better pix.
Torches and Shocking lily

All so pretty!

Sweet Peas

Nice combo Ge! I need to try those pokers.
Lovely scarlet red blooms Ronnie, I love sweet pea's :)

I'll throw in some more blue.....

Sweet

Great photos, everyone. The sweet pea photo is grand - do you shoot by aperture, Ronnie?

Nice how the red sweet peas is followed by Pixie's vivid blue.

Terrific color harmony, Jo Ann!

I'll follow Pixie's lead and go with blue. Maybe it's more purple?

Gorgeous

I'm impressed! What great photos...love the red & green in Bill's photo, the wonderful color combo in Jo's, Weeze's awesome display of clems....I'm drooling! Victor, I've never tried a small flowered clem, but it looks rather nice. The blues & yellows in everyone's photos are great together, & I love the deep red of Ronnie's sweet peas. I'll add a purple snail vine...

Wow - another fantastic blue, Celeste! How did they ever come up with the phrase 'having the blues' to mean sad or depressed. Blue is so soothing!

Pink Double Delight.

Tempting Fate

Not blue, salmon

Thanks Pirl...I try my best to get the aperture set right but mostly it's hit or miss with me!

Love the purple on that Iris Jen!

I agree tha blue gets a bad rap...one of my favorite morning glory colors♥

Have the ability to do some major lurking here today...all of today's pics are absolutely gorgeous! They made my frozen little heart sing! ^_^

I usually shoot flowers on aperture priority. Sometimes fully manual.

I like manual

Main consideration is depth of field, so AP is fine for most shots. If light is tricky or wind is a factor, I will sometimes go manual, or vary the ISO or EV.

lovely colorful blooms all
here is a sunlit tulip

That is pretty, Debi! Hi, Phoebe....nice to hear from you!

love that shot Debi

Great shot, Deb!

Very nice Debi!

thanks everyone, that isn't a tulip I planted and it's the only one in the garden, but it's pretty
