Since I’m doing my Zambia posts
on Sundays now, I’m going to start posting my pictures Saturday – Friday. That
way I get the post up in a timely manner on Saturday & can use that day’s
pictures the next week.

May 27th
We drove home from NC on Sunday.
Before we left, Dr. M took more flower pictures – just to tide us over until we
have some flowers of our own.

We were visited by the white squirrel
again! He’s cute in a rodent sort of way…
The moon!

We love the downy woodpecker who
visits our suet cake.
I think we might have a daisy or
40 this summer.
Our volunteer tomato plant. We’re
leaving those corn looking plants just to see if maybe they are corn. Or maybe garlic. Or, you know,
just weeds. You can see our yarrow patch in the back – it’s almost as out of
control as the daisies!
More yarrow pictures – love all the
different colors.
I LOVE this cardinal! Singing
his fool head off. He looks kind of like a punk rocker to me. Heh.

Dr. M took pictures of roses
today – so lovely.
I had this post about cows on
Thursday so you can go there to see the rest of the cow pictures. Here’s my
favorite.
Dr. M got me this lovely hanging
basket – thanks sweetie, it’s gorgeous!
The Tax
Time Pig.
The moon!

May 31st
We sat out back this evening & took a ton of pictures,
but the light was kind of low. Here are the ones I liked best. This little
hummingbird just sat on the fence for the longest time. So cute!
Dr. M snapped this just as the bird flew away from the
cement pond. I think it’s a cool shot.

The State of the Bug. Guess
where I am? The poster in the back might give you a clue. I’m happy to report
that everything looks normal. Ha! A lot they know…
I’m trying to walk around the
neighborhood every day. This is one of the yards I pass. I just love the
flowers in front. The picture isn’t great because of low light, but it gives me
an idea of what I might like my yard to look like someday.
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
lots of great pics as usual.
ReplyDeleteLove all your flower pics! And how did you ever get a hummingbird to sit still?
ReplyDeleteAbout that poster behind you...are you telling us something?
A riot of colour this week.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely spectacular flowers. I especially like that yellow hibiscus, if that's what it is.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of yarrow before! of course, I am not much of a flower connoisseur but I have never seen those.
ReplyDeletethe picture of the cardinal is beautiful!!!
I grow yarrow too in my herb garden. Love the flower shots and the birds, tax time was precious....and I knew Dr. M would have an awesome moon shot. I could hardly wait to see what he got. I have missed you my friend and am feeling better....but not there yet.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful yard in the last shot. I'll be curious to see if your volunteers are corn -- they certainly LOOK cornlike.
ReplyDeletelovely photos, as usual! I need to return to walking the neighborhood, to get minimal exercise at the very least, but also to enjoy the yards at this time of year. It IS fun to keep up with what is going on around the 'hood!
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I love your week in photographs! I must say Tax Pig is amazing. Not an easy statue to dress, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI love the pig the best. What is she (he) thinking? That bikini, if that's what it is, will not hold up in water!
ReplyDeleteUrk, the Paper Gown. I'd rather just lie nekkid under a sheet. It's less humiliating, really, than all that crinkling and rustling.
ReplyDeleteYour yarrow is gorgeous. Do you dry it? Rick would be in constant Allergy Hell if I had such a patch.
Finally, I cannot wait to see your daisies.
I vote for corn in the mystery plant category!
ReplyDeleteGreat flower shots this week. I recently planted some yarrow in my yard. It is still very small so maybe next season I will have some blooms!
Blessings

Robin: This yarrow is three years old...it does take time to get going, but so worth the wait! Nance: The daisies are coming...they will be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a rebel posting on a different day. :)
ReplyDeleteOh the fun of annuals! Hope you didn't try to move in that "gown"...looks like the whole thing could come undone with one false move!
LOVE that front yard!
HAHAHAHA!!!! Only you would take a picture in a paper gown!!! ... hilarious! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are the exact same roses we have in our yard! I love the yellow with the pink edges. We also have some red rose bushes but I like the yellow best :)
ReplyDeleteLovin' all the greenery, flowers and moon shots!
Have a great week :)
I couldn't figure out where to post this comment, but that white squirrel is something.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post?! I guess I am losing my time on the computer lately. Kids keep me too busy to do much. You get the award for bravery here....taking a photo in the Dr.s office. You crack me up...(I hate waiting in those rooms...ha)
