White cosmos

It’s great what the right light can do for a macro flower photo. Such an ordinary flower, but so amazing in good light.

Sunflower against the sky

Everyone loves sunflowers. These big yellow beauties in my garden turn their faces to the sun so nicely.

Yellow cherry tomatoes

Yellow cherry tomatoes are such stars of the food garden. Their little stem caps even look like stars.

Sky with rays

Watering the thirsty garden this evening, I looked up. I really love this image and I am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

Leek flowers

I let some leeks in my garden flower. Why some are white and some are purple, I do not know, as all the leeks seem to be the same earlier, at harvest time. Don’t you love the round balls? Bees sure do.

Stargazer lily macro

I had to look it up, but these stargazer lily parts are stamens, which are the pollen-bearing organ of a flower, consisting of the filament and the anther. I know you had better not get that pollen on your clothes, either—stain city. But inhale that fabulous perfume!

Kitty looking out of window

This is a cat we used to have who has gone to kitty heaven. Rose was a very good guard kitty. She used to make sure everything outside was as it should be. She is missed.

Leek flower bud

Leeks are remarkable plants in the garden. The first photo is the bud enclosed in its casing, with several inches of a green spike on top, looking like an alien hairdo. Below that is the ripe casing falling away, and the buds of the flowers showing themselves. They are at about eye level for me, so a bunch of them make quite an otherworldly show.
