Good bye Summer and hello Fall

I want to thank you Mr. Bee for pollinating all my pretty flowers and delicious fruits and vegetables that I love to eat. Most of all thank you for the delicious honey that sweetens my tea and makes me smile at how beautiful nature can be.

It may not be cherries but it is red so close enough.

Pink it was love at first sight

I yell pink when I turn out the light, and

Pink gets me high as a kite

And I think everything is goin to be all right

This is a close up of a dead wasp nest. If your an expert you can tell me i’m wrong that it is a bees nest. It was attached to the house when we moved in and I have chased away wasps many times before I finally managed to get this down. I’m going with the odds that it’s defiantly wasps……I can grantee that is the evil flying creature that insists on making it’s home on mine.

Today is two photos, one unedited which is the top one. I quickly snapped a picture on my cell phone while plant shopping. Didn’t know what the bug was until I looked it up later.

The second photo I cropped in to see the little guy better. I also adjusted the color and contrast to make it all pop.

Little pine cones just starting to grow.

This is taken out at Newfields by the Lilly house. It is a beautiful garden and everything is blooming and lush greenery right now.

I’m not sure what these little lavender flowers are but they sure are pretty.

A beautiful bead of water hidden inside the center of a cabbage looking plant.

Daffodils are the first flowers to bloom in my yard. Happy spring!

Snow in March, of course.

You spring is here when you have little green plants sprouting up.

I had to cheat on this photo since the flowers arn’t up yet. The Hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers. The flower petals all grow in a nice tight ball and is creates a beautiful texture. A neat fact about this flower is if you have one planted you can change the color of the flowers. By making the soil more acidic you will get blue or lavender flowers. Alkaline soil will turn blooms more pink in color. This flower was blue when i bought it but after planting it it changed because of my soil PH.

Today I decided to make it 2 for the price of one. the top image was taken on a beautiful sunny day while waiting for an eclipse to happen. The bottom image is fog, which is what the entire week has looked like. Today it is raining so there are plenty of clouds but nothing good to see.

This is taken at the Hoover damn last March. It is a beautiful sight with the different shades of brown and blue filling the photo. The water level was down a lot since the light rock had been covered with water at one point. The low water level is not a good thing for all people living in a desert but it is a beautiful sight of colors.

I realize that the difference in these two photos is minimal at first glance. When I start to compare them the black and white one helps to show in the color photo just how many colors there are in the tree bark. There is pink and green tones and even a little yellow spot. The snow may be just white but in the color photo it has a more of a blue hue to it. The black and white photo has great contrast and texture. I love how the world can look so different from black and white to color. It is all a matter of how you choose to see it.
