Hallson Gardens

One of several Hellbores OC has. Sorry for it being fuzzy, but the wind was really whipping that day. Will try again when He does the others.....John

Lovely very lovely
Here everything is put in a freezer so I live on your pics

Hope everything will turn out just fine with you.
Please add some hosta leaves to the boukets you are bringing Joy when the lillies come
Hugs

Beautiful, OC! Come on Spring

Fuzzy? I didn't see any fuzziness....If fact, that is one of your better pictures, Coot! Looks like a nice clump there, too....Love the frame!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Lovely Hellebore! Thanks for sharing!

OC doesn't know if thag is a multicolor plant or several growing together. He has several more and as soon as he can talk joy into going OUT THERE with him, he'll get her to l,ook and see. She won't let me get in the beds anymore.

You saw the bedding plants on OC 's deck, had someone come and plant them for him watered them and then it turned off DRY and WINDy, not all that hot but the wind was something else.

The Good Lord watered them a tittle bit Friday Morning, and evening, but gave them a real bath Saturday afternoon and evening.

Went out Saturday afternoon before the showers started and took these pictures. Made in FULL SHADE, 08-55mm kit kens, some hand held, some with the tripod. WITH A PoLARIZER filter to saturate and accentuate the red. Edited in PS EL-3...Getting pretty comfortable with it, learning something new about it every time he uses it. Tried lightening and darkening the picture, but more light ruined the way it actually looked so, OC left it a little bit dark.Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge and then on the x for a full screen shot.

After all, it was in full shade, under trees no less.........Enjoy,,OC

Pretty John!! That first one with the hosta and the reds look really nice!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Lovely Coleus! Thanks, OC!

Your're getting on real quick with that new camera! Fun to learn new things isn't it!

great Job OC!

before OC got the Canon, sure shortened his learning curve. If the Minolta would have taken extra lenses, he would have never traded. And yes OC is enjoying his new equipment,. OC

It shows in the beauty you capture too OC!

Was out shooting Hosta Pictures Saturday and found this little fellow hid under the leaves. Looks like it is setting seed for the winter....Wish OC had seen it sooner..Believe it is one of his better Shade bed pictures Love that XT and kit lens. WIll keep an eye on it and try to get a p[icture when it turns orange.....

until this year. Put them out in the new Shade b ed and they are THRIVING. Just got back from watering them again and they look so much better. Oh, these are mixed Dianthus.....Enjoy. OC a gardner for the Lord.

Pretty OC! I have 3 dianthus blooming currently also!

Doing real well in the shade bed now that they are getting a little water. Joy sits up on the deck and watches OCto make sure he DOES NOT get off his scooer, but since she let him start doing that everything looks so much more alive. Especially the Hosta. OC

So long as you continue to listen to Joy, we'll let you water then!

Glad you are able to enjoy it all!

Sure won't bite the hand that FEEDS me...OC

Now there's a smart boy! Wish my dd's cat would learn that! I bought his salmon this month!

Since OC started watering it recently, it has really come on strong....Still no rain but doing the best OC can. Enlarge the picture as much as you can, gives a pretty good view of the plant..OC

Enjoy
