Dans La Lune, and so on and so forth

 Full moon rising through the trees

 I like this one!

 The man in the moon

Software helps bring out the texture

 Playing with filters

 I like the blue!

 Sepia waning moon

Yes, I am a bit obsessed...

 In other news...

 Our little flowerbed is thriving!

 So cute with the bonus pink one (I bought a flat of purple)

 And as you can see...

Our cypress vines are a hit!

 I know some of you are swamped, and others baking...

 But Ohio is going wild this summer! Y'all come...

Visitations

We have had the most splendid visitation of daylilies this summer!

 These beauties came first

 They were out front when we moved in

I transplanted them to side, along our privacy fence, where they are thriving

 The yellow ones were here, too!

 What a pleasure it was the first time they bloomed

So gorgeous!

 Now they are joined by double-orange daylilies!

 Thanks to a friend from Texas who sent us some

 We love them all!

Our pet geranium is thriving

As is the little flower garden I planted this year for my sweetie

 I also planted two tomato plants, but they have been completely outclassed by two volunteer plants

See what I mean? Mysterious and wonderful!

We also have at least two volunteer sunflowers growing in our beds

I think I know who planted them...

 The moon has been prominent overhead this week

 I've been playing with new software

 Sharpening the images

But sometimes one should just bask in the moonlight

 Finally, when I bought this fabulous basket for our back yard,

 I knew they would come to it, sooner or later

 Yesterday, a female ruby-throated hummingbird put on quite a show for me!

Peace be with you, dear friends...
