From the Seaside Parade. Lots of red.
Month: July 2009
Entering the Fountain
Cooling off on a hot day in Portland.
Bush Bean
Bean from our garden. What we usually do with the bush beans is pass them along to our daughter to pickle and then take the jars of pickled beans and evenly divide them. She has a knack for turning out delicious pickled beans.
Give Peas a Chance
Snap pea from our garden.
Smoketree Leaf
Spotted in Portland. I think there are two varieties of Smoketrees in the US. Interesting tree. I actually walked past this small tree, stopped and turned around to walk back and take a look. It was like it took my mind a few seconds to register what I saw.
Flower Globe
I really don’t know the name of this plant. Was captured in the Sabin area of Portland from someone’s yard I walked past.
Clematis
One more look at Carol’s clematis.
A Closer Look
Macro view of one of Carol’s clematis.
Carol’s Flowers
My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune.
