Go Into The Garden with Camera!

Don’t talk about the weather. Isn’t that some kind of rule?  Not in a blog.  It’s kind of like what you had for lunch,  or when you ask someone “how’s the weather”?   But you have to see this  iphone photo I took on our walk this AM. It was 101 here yesterday and today look at it today!

Cloudy sky

Cool with a few rain drops off and on.  Chelsea wasn’t impressed at all.  Too busy sniffing the dirt. Bitsy stayed home to work on her birthday list.   She turns 14 on October 7th.

Since I’m working in the studio all day, dreaming of being outside, I thought I’d share some of my backyard photos.  I follow a photography site and the challenge for the day was  “go outside and photograph your backyard”.  So I did! Try it.  Go into your own backyard with your camera in hand!

Real Lambs

And all day today I’m dreaming of lambs.  Wish these were in my garden.  Maybe soon LOL!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Farm Country

Living in farm country has its benefits. I remind myself of this when I’m driving 15 miles per hour behind a tractor on a two lane road.  The little inconveniences are worth it! 

I drive past beautiful farms on the way into town. Fruit stands are open throughout the summer, and our area is known for wonderful produce.  People drive from all over just to experience the pleasure of picking their own fruit.

Early this morning Brigette and I were off to the Farmer’s market in town.

Every Saturday, throughout the growing season, the locals bring their fresh baked good, produce and flowers to sell.

and the bees who made it! Brigette’s husband built the display case so we could all enjoy watching the bees work.    It was fun to watch! Bees

It’s amazing this little area I live in.  Summer is the best time of year!

Have a great weekend everyone!  I’ll be eating my veggies!  Even Bitsy likes carrots but Chelsea hates them.  Figures doesn’t it? 

Hugs,
