Something a little different....

With the right camera settings, I even found some color in NYC. Not flowers, but I think it's kind of neat.

DA: Screw the laws...Us old guys LIKE to be followed! Better hurry though, the showers are supposed to end tonight!

i would like to have flowers like these folks do.

i would have liked to have taken pics of the peoples back yard, but the sun was out and it wouldnt show up in the viewfinder of the camera. ( too much light)

i wish i had a video camera, it would be easier to show! LOL

 

[ShyOlderGuy]

It was my first time!

..and I'm not thrilled about the chance of going back. What you guys have in your yards beats the concrete and people and taxis and garbage by a LONG SHOT!

Back to the flowers..."buttonized" in keeping with the current trend!

the amazing thing is, this is just the front yard!! LOL and i didnt take all of the front yard because of the position of the sun!

I TRY to take it with me, especially to a "new place". More Frequently I go to New Jersey, and find that things are about the same there as here, so I leave it home. The lily was actually about 5 miles from here, across the state line into Illinois. These were in the same garden.

[batter]

WOW!!

I have to agree with DA...i too, have never seen so many shades of red on one flower! absolutely amazing!
i am glad you took that pic!
great job!

 

[ShyOlderGuy]

You two are great!

Thanks for the support and Kudos!

i dont know what kind those red flowers were, but i really like them. might have to look for them at the local nursery to see if they know what the flowers are and if they are perennials. LOL
i think they would look great around a rock border in the flower beds if they dont grow too high.

i need to wait for more flowers to bloom too. the temp is in the high 90's right now. i do have some red sunflowers starting to bud.
just bought a Rose of Sharon and planted it. hopefully i should have blooms on it before too long.
love the rainbows.
