dog days of summer

 feelin' the need fer a lil "capturin' of the moment" out in the back yard yesterday.  ms bandit eyeballin' a water lily in our lil pond.



the delicateness of a miniature rose as it's jest beginnin' to bloom.  the perfection of nature always astounds me.


this lil beaut was a gift from the hubs, she blooms like a champ.  from it's pure pink start to it's faded white, it always makes me smile.



the hummers are happy, yet i can't seem to capture one, lol.  the cardinal flower vines are jest now startin' to bloom their tiny wonders.  can't wait til it gets goin' to brighten up the garden!



i adore flowers of all types, they are sometimes most difficult to grow in this drought and wind ridden country, but i've quite a few lil beauts that hang in there, and i'm most happy fer it!



the pups, ms jade & ms bandit.  they are always close by and almost as hard to get a pic of as those illusive hummers :)



the common salvia (aka, sage) is a staple to me.  i adore their periwinkle blue hues, find it quite soothin' in fact.  along with their pungent odor to fill out the garden.


i love the pop of copper & yellow amongst the pinkish purple blooms.  adds a bit of interest.  yepperz, i'm a "textural" kinda gal and fancy much variety.



i adore hibiscus, they've only one fault - those gorgeous blooms last only a day.  one must take the time to truly enjoy the beauty they bring!  this double bloomer has been a champ this summer and is adored by hummers & bees alike.





the delicate sweetness of a water lily in bloom!  they seem to give the pond a bit of the exotic as well as bright punches of color.
peekin' through the cattails, soothin' to me somehow...
