Balloons make me smile

This is a really cool shot of my balloon flower.

Before the bud opens, it looks like a balloon.

Looking for a new home?

I think this little guy is moving in to one of our bird houses!

Mr. Jay

Sometimes I'm able to get a nice shot of a bird. I'm  hoping my next camera has a bigger zoom.

Orange to Yellow

I'm fairly confident this Tiger Lily bloomed orange last year. Yellow is cool too.

Bloom anyway!

The extreme heat and lack of rain is really impacting my gardens early this year;
 however, the day lilies manage to bloom anyway.

Milk and Wine Lily

I'm surprised each day when I go outside to find something blooming since
we are in such a dry spell.  This milk and wine lily is really beautiful.

Beautiful Butterfly

The lavender in this butterfly is the same shade of the flower.  It was really beautiful.

La La La La La

Our garage babies are singing now. They had a rough weekend when they somehow got shuffled out of their nest (darn neighborhood cat!!). We gently put them back in their nest and they are doing great. We are now keeping the garage shut and have a fan running for the babies.

A Memory from the Past

This Day Lily came from my Dad's garden. I remember this
 variety all over our yard when I was a child.

All Good Moms Take Care of their Babies!



On May 18th, I posted  a picture of a nest full of eggs we found in our garage.  I believe they are now hatched.  She flys in and out of the broken window to bring food. We are leaving our garage door open more than normal because it is really hot.

All Good Moms Take Care of their Babies! I carefully zoomed in and got this shot of her tonight and she protected her next. Hopefully soon we will be able to get a shot of her babies.

Mandevilla

Mandevilla is a vine flower that is really pretty and blooms all the way til frost in Georgia. 
 I've never had one make it thru the winter.  Maybe I'll bring this one in the winter and try
 to keep it going inside til next spring.
