Ya tired of my picture taking skills yet? :lol: :lol:
I know they aren't great, but at least I'm getting better aquainted with the ole camera :-?
And you all have to suffer looking at them :)
Humor me cause I'm sickly ya know :lol:

This is my front flower bed, mostly just yarrow. I was in the process of moving all the flowers from this bed to the back yard by my pond. I wanted all wild type looking flowers back there. But alas I have to wait to move the lil sapsuckers.

Another weed pic hehe.

I love the old fashioned hollyhocks!!

Great pictures, and I spied the weeds! And a couple bugs! :lol:

Your close-ups are really good. Mine aren't so great . . . I have a nice camera, I think it must be my picture-taking skills that aren't quite up to par! :roll:

Walking around snapping pics and enjoying your garden sounds like a good recovery activity! We won't get bored of looking at them!!! :D :D

PS - looking at the timestamp on your post, I see you're still having trouble sleeping!!!

I like all of the pictures.
I'd like to have a big bed with wildflowers like your yarrow.

Is there a secret to moving yarrow? every time I've tried, it dies on me.

Awww thanks everyone LOL. Glad you like my weed pics too, as I'm running out of normal flowers :lol:
At least I'm having fun with the camera.
Trying to get some bird pics, but not doing to good. I don't have my feeder in front of my window anymore LOL.

Lucy,
I'm outside most of the time. Mostly at my sister's house on her deck. Cause her deck is a lot cooler than mine, well that and I'm trying to get her sick and tired of me visiting :lol:

Took this one this morning... Not real good but I'll post it anyway :lol:

I can't kill yarrow even if I try! I just dig them up and stick them in the ground somewhere and they grow. May take a while for them to perk up, sometimes they even look like they die, but they always come back :D

Yeah, I don't sleep very well. I get up about 3 almost every morning. But then I can go visit my sis and get her up, but I do wait until 6 AM, sometimes a wee bit earlier. Don't I Bev? :lol:

Karma, what kind did you plant?

Charla, Claudia :lol: :lol: :lol:
Actually my camera has a tilt view finder on it! So I just flip it up and stuck it "underneath" the flower :)

Mom here was a bit angry with me yesterday. I didn't know I was so close to her baby :lol: But she was letting me have it mouth full of a wormie thing or not!

Image

And here was the reason she was sooooo grumpy!

And a bee trying to get his lunch.

And this is just a cool pic I thought :lol: :lol:

I would love to trade seeds with ya! I don't have any pretty red ones.
One question though, how do you save them before those little bugs bore holes in them?
