Mushroom as big as a dinner plate. I put three small wildflowers on top for scale. The purple one is a clover blossom. Photographed on my evening walk tonight. xo

The Sunday morning line up. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 I picked up these deck chairs a few doors down when the owners put them out at the curb for trash pickup. A new coat of stain and they are as good as new. So happy.

Raindrops resting on a finely woven spiderweb on my boxwood this rainy Saturday. I can hardly believe my weather went from air conditioning yesterday to 66° this morning. It feels fabulous and we need the rain!

Cloudz. One of my favorite things to photograph. They can change the same location so very dramatically as in the last three pics from my balcony.

Deer Sighting Out Back

Sorry. This image is not working.

I got pretty close with my iPhone on my walk out back. He posed for me.

Weeds can be beautiful too.

Weeds can be beautiful too. 🔶🔶🔶  These look like little orchids.

Enjoying The Hammock

Jessie Willcox Smith is one of my favorite illustrator. Isn't this adorable? I don't recall ever having seen this one before. via

We are having a hot week in New Jersey but it cools off at night enough to turn off the central air and open bedroom windows. I can tolerate air conditioning during the day but dislike being sealed at night. I miss the sounds of outside too much. This arrangement works for me and I love waking up to birdsong in the morning. Stay cool. xo
