Summer Garden


"More than anything,
I must have flowers, always, always."
-Claude Monet















"All through the long Winter, I dream of my garden. 
On the first day of Spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth.
I can feel it's energy, and my spirits soar."
-Helen Hayes











"If we could see the miracle of a single flower,
clearly our whole life would change."
-Buddha

    Lynn, the colours in your photos are so vibrant. I particularly like the first shot of the Black-eyed Susans and and blue/green/sparkling background. Wow! (Thanks for your kind comment on my blog.)

    Everything is so lush and green. It is where you live. Very green there right? My sister is north of Seattle and it is so pretty in summer and green all summer long.

    Lovely garden of flowers. Is that a Hummingbird? Hummingbirds are my favorite and very special to me.

    I really love that last shot. If more than anything you must have flowers, than more than anything you must not have grasshoppers.

    Gorgeous photo's! i haven't had great luck with black eyed susant here - they seem to crawl underground & create an awful mess for me in my gardens! Yours are so pretty, i really enjoyed strolling thru your garden today! Thanks so much for linking up to Cottage Flora Thursday's last week! Hope to see you again this upcoming week! xoxo, tracie
