I didn’t take any form of tripod on this trip to the State Fair, so I had to shoot pretty wide open. So one gets this… I think it was around this time that I thought about doing the thing that would ultimately get me in trouble, but I didn’t… Read More »Macrovision

The other day I had to mow my Mom’s lawn. Thought I might as well take a few pictures of her flowers. One of the few times that mowing was a joy.

This hibiscus was new to my yard this year. It didn’t exactly “take off”, but I have high hopes for it next year.
A flower from the Iowa State Fair. Almost done with Iowa State Fair flower pictures.
Same bee as a few days back. Still getting his pollen on! I might have more bee pictures coming. I might not.
A bee getting his pollen on, in my backyard. My backyard is lousy with bees right now and I’m digging it!
A zinnia from the Iowa State Fair. The flower garden next to the Agriculture Building is one of my favorite flower gardens. So… get ready for plenty more pictures from 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?
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.
