Garden Photos one per day 2011

snaps

Pretty!

Delphinium

Pretty colors today!


Snaps grow in the strangest places here and survive year after year. You can bet I never planted them in the crack between the courtyard and the foundation.

This photo was taken last week of a yellow snapdragon about to bloom here in Jan. I assume this severe cold spell will be the end of its heroic effort. But I am not running out to check. Patti

Very nice! Never tried snaps. I should.

Columbine.

Victor - it's lovely. Was it taken using the aperture selection?

Nice pink Victor

Thanks. Yes, aperture priority, pirl.

It was with the macro lens, and set to an almost wide-open f3.3. Hence, the limited area in focus.

Love it! Terrific shot. You could teach photography, Victor.

My daughter is reluctant to try new things with her photography passion but I did inspire her to try aperture priority and she loves it. A local professional is encouraging her to have a showing at the library.

Thanks, pirl. Great for your daughter!!

Wow that's great Pirl!
I would love photography lessons...

55 days until spring!! (For Jo. ^_^)

Noid Hydrangea

Jen - that's certainly proof that plants don't need ID's to be stunning.

On a snow day, let's think peach!

Thanks Victor.I will enter that on my datebook

Blooming today...

You got that right Pirl.

Hi Allison thats a beautiful combo

thanks.. see sometimes not having a plan works out.. LOL

I think I emember you saying a few years ago "All flower gardens are beautiful"
Planned or not. Th sight of flowers changes anyones mood,I feel sorry for people who have no awarness of the nature around them.

oh geeze.. have to watch what I say... LOL

Gardens are so personal. They tell a great deal about the people who work them.

more nice shots here!
Bill do the caryopteris really grow that big and fast?

how about some blues?

Beautiful Deb!

Great delfs and geraniums.Deb
