Summer 2014 Pictures

7/3/2014

I love to take pictures!
This week I'm spotlighting some of my favorites from this summer.

Critters are fun to photograph! You never know what they are going to do next. These three didn't mind me, or my camera.

Our roses took a hit from the nasty winter.
Even though I cut them nearly to the ground this spring, they bloomed beautifully!

Cats being entertained (or tormented) by the chipmunk.
A very cool, green bee.
Yarrow---best medicinal plant EVER! (See previous post on Poison Ivy Remedy)

It has rained a lot here this month. We've seen some spectacular rainbows!

Happy 4th of July!

Love your pictures Anne. We don't get chipmunks or fox squirrels in Australia, which is a shame because they look so cute. But we do get plenty of possums in the garden as well as large parrots called cockatoos. They both drive my little dog crazy.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I loved your New Zealand pictures---such a beautiful place! Will try again to leave a comment. I'd love to see a cockatoo.
