We have a couple of pretty birch trees.
The bark is extraordinary, so
I snapped some photos to show you.
A close up of the bark
I know...this post is so exciting, the cyber police may shut it down!!!
Zoe thinks she lives in a rain forest...
I think she may be right
We have had record rainfall for June
Every single day I think
The weeds love it
To see what my future’s gonna beeeee. . .
I’ve always loved daisies . . .
Such a simple flower . . .
Not Complicated . . .
Straightforward . . .
Zoe likes them too ! ! !
Baby Crabapples on the right.
Enjoy some daisies everyone ! ! !
Joining Mary @ Little Red House for Mosaic Monday
and Boogieboard Cottage for
Summertime is “Hydrangeas”. . .
Same photo...the first one has some texture added in Photoshop.
I love growing daisies and Calla Lilies . . . I’d have lots of them if the Japanese
Beetles would go back to Japan or somewhere . . .
This is the unedited version of the preceding photo . . .
I spent my spare time yesterday and today spiffing up my blog using
some photos of my dining area...
I thought I wanted to use a blue background but ended up going back to a
turquoise color.
I edited a photo of my dining area in Photoshop.
The colors were edited in the above photo.
I did a lot of things to it...wish I could tell you what I did...
I do remember that I used a watercolor effect and crosshatching effect.
I thought it turned out pretty neat.
Birdhouse-------before & after!!!
It is the selective cropping that gets rid of my clutter
I like the Photoshop version a lot better than the “before” version.
Wonder if I can make this area look like my edited photo???
Geezeee, if only redecorating was this easy!!!

I don’t know where this week has gone...
it has flown by.
Aaaahhhhh, summertime, that’s the reason it goes by so swiftly.
It’s like a fleeing moment of freedom that
I don’t always stop to savor.
I did stop long enough to snap some photos of my hydrangeas...
Our heat will probably dry them up soon...
These were some wildflowers I spotted growing behind a
building where I was attending a meeting .
(Crazy lady running around with the camera looking
under, over and around things!!!)
I believe that they are Coreopsis.
You know that I wouldn’t be a true Southerner
if I didn’t have a few Magnolia photos!
Magnolias are beautiful but I never have wanted one in my yard.
I get leaves from neighbors’ yards and they are like
tough cardboard, they take forever to disintegrate and
usually have to be picked up by hand.
We always enjoy our Spiderwort plants...
They never need any care...just a little appreciation occasionally.
I’m joining Tootsie for
Fertilizer Friday
Have a beautiful weekend peeps!!!
I used the free Iced Blue Texture by Nine Acres Photo...actually I used it
three times, 100% soft light, 100% multiply and again at 52% soft light
and erasing the texture from the yellow petals. Then I made my mosaic
in Picasa.
