Yesterday after the rain stopped, I took a walk around my yard with the baby camera. You never know what you might find. Come; join me ....
At first I thought these might be fireflies, but my hopes were dashed when I discovered they were not. I love how their wings are so transparent and diaphanous that the color of the flower comes through them, infusing them with yellow.
The flowers that are now blooming in the perennial beds were more than grateful for the moisture. They seem to be drinking it in through their petals. It’s always a surprise to me to watch the different plants bloom since it’s only the second year I’ve seen their cycles. They never disappoint.
Other creatures were out as well, doing their garden clean-up jobs.
[I don’t care for caterpillars and wormy things any more than you do, fellow reader, but they demanded to be included.]
I love how colors become more saturated and drenched after a nice rain.
Hmm ... which way do you think is North by looking at this tree?
And that, fellow reader, concludes our little garden walk. See you next time!<
