House wren peeking out at me.

Buttercups. Remember holding these under your chin?
Webster or Mr. Handsome.
Tabitha. I don't know why her eyes are two different colors.
Dogs are so smart. I was outside the screen door and
noticed that Webster was using a shadow as sunglasses.
I got this birdbath at my friend's garage sale.
It is way tall and is made from a garbage can lid.
I love it. No bathers yet.

Another version of the Henry Ward Beecher quote . . .
I made another version of this quote. The first version appears in the post below. Which do you like better? Just curious. I call this one The Polaroid.
I am still having fun with my new camera lens. I couldn't get a good shot of the lily of the valley without doing the army crawl in the dirt so I picked it. I love the way it looks on the scallop shell. Click on the image for a larger view.
Happy Friday. Enjoy the long weekend. Have fun whatever you do. ♥Rosemary

Playing around with a new camera lens . . .
Leaf study. This tree gets a flower that looks like an orchid.
Pink geranium.
Wild raspberry leaves.
Lamb's ears (again).
Japanese maple.
Milkweed.
I got a new lens for my camera and played around with it last evening. Sorry to be boring you so much lately with my photos. I think I either have to move or buy some flowers since I have photographed everything I can on my property. Guess I will do the latter. The soil should warm up with the nice weather that's coming.
I can't believe it's almost Memorial Day. Time for some hot dogs, hamburgers, and watermelon. Are you celebrating at home or going away? North, south, east, west...home's best!

...To be continued...
I finished all my trimming around the house and critical areas in the yard. It is finally looking good after all that rain. Too bad it's freezing! It feels exactly like San Francisco weather...crisp, breezy and cool. It is actually quite nice, I like sweater weather. Happy Monday. Enjoy the day.
