dragonfly on deck, taken thru the window

 

Simply nature

I can't remember what variety of lily this is ~
(but it's tiny, and ever so pretty!)

 

The white lilies always surprise me, coming up late amongst the burning firey-orange asiatics

 

Do you think it's time to divide & separate, or what! ~

 

Too bad I didn't have the macro lens with this little guy; this is taken about 10 feet back, which was as close as my zoom lens would focus.

 

If I ever was to come back as a bug ~ it would be a dragonfly, and as bright-blue as possible!

(and if the dragonflies were all taken ~ then, hands down, I would be a spider!)

These need some work; I could only get EITHER the water OR the flowers in proper focus.

 

 

(will have to try to work that better with my old point & shoot jobbie, as I did with my great lily shot)

Well, that didn't work much better ~

 

Both varieties of peonies are in bloom at the same time this year!

 

 

 

Didn't get good lighting with this one

 

Jenn's peony bush, planted before the wedding; soon now ....

 

I'm hoping for an anniversary bloom today before the day is done :)

Different!
