Today I am sharing some random photos that were taken over the summer. I decided to empty some of my photos off the computer and ended up doing some editing too. I never know what a day will bring until I start doing something and it just unfolds on its own.
Produce
Here are just a few photos of some of the food I grew. I actually started eating the Nasturtium flowers and found that I really liked them. I plan on planting a few more plants next year and eating the leaves as well with my salad greens.
Favorite Flowers
These are just a sample of some of my all-time favorite flowers in the garden-scape. The variegated Iris is always a show-stopper and smells just like bubblegum. I have many different varieties of peonies of course as well as hydrangeas.
Butterflies
I plant lots of different annual flowers every year to attract pollinators to the gardens. Here are a few of the different butterflies that visit every summer.
Pond Life
I adore the little frogs that emerge every year to spend the summer with me. They really are interesting creatures to watch and remind me to exhibit patience during my day.
Elephant Ear
This was the first time I ever tried growing one of these tubers and was amazed at the size of the leaves. I did have to remove it however after we got our new puppy as I read that they are poisonous to them. Of course, she turned out to be a plant lover like myself and loves shredding leaves and plucking the flowers, lol.
Birdwatching
This is a collage that I did for another post way back when, but it shows a variety of birds that come every day to my birdfeeders. I just love having so many feathered friends to entertain me.
Yard Photos
This is another old collage I had done trying to give a larger perspective of some of my gardens around my home. Of course, each year the flowers change to different areas and the newer varieties end up in the main butterfly garden. I have shared many posts on those over this past season.
Critters
I especially enjoy feeding all the animals that come asking for daily treats of sunflower seeds and peanuts of course. Between the squirrels, chipmunks, and birds I have to buy many large bags every summer to keep them all happy.
I hope you have enjoyed my random photo share and would love to see reviews from you as well. Winter officially arrived this morning with a blanket of white. Perhaps I will have to start taking some photos of the glistening snow covering my landscape too.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
Sun. Scape. Ing Your Day
