Photo of the Day 0105
It had been awhile since I took the Photoshop up to 11. Out of my system now. Want to see what this picture looked like before all the Photoshoperation? Good luck with that.

Phlox One of my favorite small flowers.
One of my coneflowers. A very healthy batch this year. Well, we did it. We made it to 100 Photos of the Day. I figured there was no better way to cap off the first 100 with what Micky would call “flower porn”. Somewhere Russell is shaking his head.
My only stargazer this year. My lily patch had a rough go of it this year. Naima trampled a couple lilies to death. I didn’t get on the weeding train early enough. Also, my sunflowers have made the sun a distant memory to my lilies. I’ll try to do better… Read More »Photo of the Day 0096
Another rose from the State Center Rose Garden (Photo Assistant: Jesse Howard) The selection of today’s photo was also a salute to Russell. He has long been the biggest supporter of my flower photography. The word fanatic barely seems to describe it.
Another rose from the State Center Rose Garden. I missed the sweet spot for this rose garden this year.
Yellow Rose from the State Center Rose Garden Jesse didn’t seem to know that this little gem existed. It may have been the highlight of his day.
Pink lily after some rain. It seems all the lilies that aren’t in my lily patch are doing well. The lilies in my lily patch? Now why did you bring those up?
The raspberries are coming along nicely. Full disclosure, the ones that I have are coming along nicely. However, they didn’t take to my pruning as well as I had hoped and there won’t be many raspberries this year. I know. I’m as heartbroken about it as you are.
Who doesn’t love lilies? This lily also resides in my house in the northeast corner of my backyard. Its best friend is the moonflower. Well, it survives the moonflower.
Who doesn’t love daisies? I definitely love daisies. I have a patch in the backyard and a couple daisies in the front by my lamp post.
A volunteer lily in the back corner of my yard. Usually I’m not a fan of orange lilies I’ve made an exception for this lily.
A lily after a storm. This yellow lily can be found in my Mom’s front yard. If you know where that is, you should drop by and check out her many beautiful flowers. If you don’t, that is your misfortune.
The first sunflower of the year! My sunflowers have actually gotten out of control. I probably need to cut them back before they take over the entire yard.
My first lily of the year! I believe that I also originally got this lily at a United Methodist Women rummage sale. Like all my day lilies, it is dominating. We don’t need to talk about my Asiatic lilies.
Yellow rose after storm. I got these roses for free from a Methodist Women rummage sale a few years back. A good addition to my driveway.
Experimenting with a frozen flower theme. I need to revisit this idea when something other than a white flower is blooming in my yard.
I’m very happy with the progress of my daisy patch this year. Unfortunately my hollyhocks have taken a step back this year, but I have hopes they will rebound in the coming months though.
One of my grandma’s flowers. NORMAN I might have gone a little mad with the Photoshop on this picture. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven’t you? MARION Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough. Exchange from my forthcoming screenplay.
