I love taking pictures of things in my garden. Today wasn’t probably the best day to do it, it was just breezy enough that I found focusing more difficult than usual. We had quite a bit of rain yesterday, and some last night/showers this morning, so the sky was bright and clear with big, puffy clouds, and the flowers were all cleaned and refreshed. Or so I like to tell myself. 😉 I couldn’t cut them ALL and bring them in, there’s only so many places for cut flowers in my house. I definitely need to splurge on a macro lens at some point, that would make these images so much more interesting/easier to take the detail shots of things like the raindrops on rose-leafs.

Begonias are so unique… the bracts look sticky-waxy, but are in reality quite soft.

This color of rose always makes me think of my dear friend in the DC area. Once, years ago, I sent her some roses, and they were orange-russet like this (at least, that’s the color they were supposed to be. I’ll have to ask her if they were or if the florist switched out a different color. LOL).

Big beautiful clouds in a blue sky.

This freesia smells amazing. I have had freesia coming out my ears this spring, just from the five plants (out of eight) I planted last year.
