Friday Floral
Hosta blossom from our backyard.
Hosta
Our second Hosta is starting to bloom. Although I am finding some things to shoot around our house, I’m anxious to get back ‘out there’ once my bones heal. Maybe August.
I keep thinking I am due to share some stats from this blog with you, subscribers and viewers. Without you the stats would be meaningless, mostly. I will post a couple of stats I think are fun and important. This blog has been going since Feb. 2009. At times I think I should take it in another direction, but the blog seems to have a life of its own and is still a joy for me to share what my camera and I are up to :-).
Be safe and treat each other with kindness.
Crocosmia and Trespassing
The two leafy images are from our backyard. The other three, of the Crocosmia, is courtesy of our great, next door neighbors. I did trespass to get some images, but confessed ( via email) a couple of days later. The confession included an image from my trespassing adventure which got a response of “cool”.
Thanks Andrea and Chris!
Maybe this Time
From our rose bush:
Maybe I have finally captured a good image of a red rose?
Rose Bush: Me vs the Color Red
Partial view of our rose bush this year. I have been shooting red roses for years and it seems the color red is not my color to capture. Very frustrating. Something about red……no matter what technique or approach I use, it seems to always end in a near miss at best. The proof of that is above :-). My best effort or result to date, in my opinion, is a shot I took 10 years ago with my Minolta X700 35mm film camera. There was a black background and the rest of the image was fairly dark, but the result looked pretty good.
Day Lillys
From a planter box in our backyard. I seem to do a posting every summer of some of the flowers in our backyard. Tradition, what can I say?
Icy Cold in Seattle
It’s been a cold week in Seattle.
Calla Lily

Hosta Blossoming
The smaller of two hosta plants I have is in bloom. Always a fun subject to photograph.
Squirrel
This seems to be the year for wildlife in our backyard. We have quite a few birds that dine regularly at our two feeders, a pair of crows nesting in our cedar tree about 20 feet up and at least a half a dozen squirrels passing by for food and frivolity. The crows are driving us nuts in the way they are protecting their nest, constantly squawking when we come out the back door. The squirrels eat most of the bird food and what they leave the raccoon eats as he/she roams through at night. One of our cats is constantly skulking about in hopes of snaring a bird or squirrel. Never a dull moment.
