Azalea bush...

Finally got my flower pictures uploaded/downloaded/loaded into the computer ... hope you are all ready for some flower pictures...

Too Close...

I got myself a bit too close to this one...wasn't paying quite enough attention ... but at least I did not get hit...

Money Plant...

Looking for money to grow on trees...it grows on stalks...

Weird Boat...

Look at this boat...it looks like it's a pedal boat with a canopy...

Growing Chicks...

Here's one of the growing babies...she's a few weeks old now and so sweet...only have three left...a raccoon got in a killed four of her siblings... bummer...

Peonies...

First a 'just beginning to open' peony...

Came upon this crop duster...was really cool to watch and photograph...though I think I may have gotten dusted myself...

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!!

Flocks...

The flocks are fading...

Blackberry bushes...

Here are two pictures of the blackberry bush blooms...they will produce fruit in a few weeks...

Columbine...

They look like little horned creatures with funny yellow tongues...

Mock Orange...

My Grandmother called these Mock Orange...they don't produce fruit, but have that wonderful orange scent...

Lest We Forget...

Our little town does not have too many veterans who march in the parade...here's a few...

High Water...

We had high water recently ...notice the nice line which the weed residue left...

Another one...

Here's another jumper...

Cross Country...

We were watching a 3-day equestrian event a while back...we try to go each year, but it doesn't always work that way...fun way to spend a day though ...unless you fall of course...

At work...

One of the guys hard at work welding...
