No.313: Poppies

Preparing for Remembrance Day.  We all bought Poppies.

No.289: Porch Print

Thanks sis for this great birthday gift.  I think it's found its home.  You can see it from the dining room and the view is so much nicer.  The bungalow is on its way to becoming a more colourful home.

No. 284: Fall Flowers

We spent Thanksgiving weekend at the farm.  These were the last remnants of Grandmama's perennial bed. 

No. 272: Gerber Daisy

The mixed bouquet is almost finished.  But the Gerber Daisies seemed to last forever.

No.266: Flowers

Thank you flowers for her photoshoot... unexpected and beautiful.
She was still far more beautiful.

No.237: Cottage View

The day was sunny and beautiful.  The girls swam and ate, and ate and swam.  They got along famously with my Sister Friend's two daughters, as we knew they would.

No.184: Wedding

We attended The Agronomist's cousin's wedding today.  This is the church he attended while growing up.

No.180: Spider Surprise

While out in my backyard I was taking pictures of my flowers when all of a sudden this little guy popped into my viewfinder.  I interrupted his dinner.  Read more about it HERE.

No.169: Elephant Ears

This is one of the few flowering perennials we have in our backyard.  I was a little late to catch the flowers.  I call them Elephant Ears.  I'm not sure if that is right, but I like the name so I'm sticking to it.

No.100: Daisies And Leaves

I like to try taking pictures from unusual perspectives.  I love the way this turned out.  A Thumbelina point of view.

It feels as though spring is taking it's time.  See the snow in the top corner.  I was out looking for buds, but this was all I could find.

No.73: A Rose

We had supper at my mom and dad's last night with family friends.  Mom always has fresh flowers, and I couldn't help but take a few pictures of the roses.  They had opened so beautifully. My youngest if very proud that she decided where to crop the picture.  She has a good eye, doesn't she?

No.71: Roses

My eldest loves fashion, so she tried her hand at some hand sewing.  The tank top is no longer plain jane.

No.60: Dutch Favourites

My mom received some flowers from my dad for a belated Valentine's, as they were away during the holiday.  Seeing as my dad is a dutch immigrant, tulips are always a perfect choice.

No.20: Flowers

My ten year old daughter and I had 45 minutes to pick up some groceries while the youngest was at an afterschool activity and the eldest was at Basketball practice.   As we were choosing apples she saw that I had the camera in my purse and said, "Mom take some pictures".  So I did, very discreetly.  I wasn't even looking through the view finder but instead took these pictures "from the hip" so to speak.  I'm glad I did.  These are the only flowers we will be seeing for at least five more months.
