Ok so get ready people LOL. I can't garden yet, so I'm gonna have to bombard ya with some very common plant pics

The camera I can carry without hurting myself

Few Hollyhocks

Annie · Post by **Annie** » Jul 03, 2008 6:48 am

Here are a few more. I'm more playing with my camera than anything else

Some are really weeds I was taking pics of

These are in Bev's (Muffys) flower bed.

Ya tired of my picture taking skills yet?

I know they aren't great, but at least I'm getting better aquainted with the ole camera

And you all have to suffer looking at them

Humor me cause I'm sickly ya know

This is my front flower bed, mostly just yarrow. I was in the process of moving all the flowers from this bed to the back yard by my pond. I wanted all wild type looking flowers back there. But alas I have to wait to move the lil sapsuckers.

Another weed pic hehe.

I love hollyhocks! I want some so bad. And your pics are very pretty...even the weeds.

I love the old fashioned hollyhocks!!

Great pictures, and I spied the weeds! And a couple bugs!

Your close-ups are really good. Mine aren't so great . . . I have a nice camera, I think it must be my picture-taking skills that aren't quite up to par!

Walking around snapping pics and enjoying your garden sounds like a good recovery activity! We won't get bored of looking at them!!!

PS - looking at the timestamp on your post, I see you're still having trouble sleeping!!!

Lots of pretties there, ours are just starting to grow. I can't wait to see the colors of the new ones we added last year.

I like all of the pictures.
I'd like to have a big bed with wildflowers like your yarrow.

Is there a secret to moving yarrow? every time I've tried, it dies on me.

Very pretty flowers Annie! LOL.... Yep...seems like I just seen them this morning. Keep taking & sending pics....I love flowers!

Annie · Post by **Annie** » Jul 03, 2008 3:38 pm

Awww thanks everyone LOL. Glad you like my weed pics too, as I'm running out of normal flowers

At least I'm having fun with the camera.
Trying to get some bird pics, but not doing to good. I don't have my feeder in front of my window anymore LOL.

Lucy,
I'm outside most of the time. Mostly at my sister's house on her deck. Cause her deck is a lot cooler than mine, well that and I'm trying to get her sick and tired of me visiting

Took this one this morning... Not real good but I'll post it anyway

I can't kill yarrow even if I try! I just dig them up and stick them in the ground somewhere and they grow. May take a while for them to perk up, sometimes they even look like they die, but they always come back

Yeah, I don't sleep very well. I get up about 3 almost every morning. But then I can go visit my sis and get her up, but I do wait until 6 AM, sometimes a wee bit earlier. Don't I Bev?

Karma, what kind did you plant?

THAT is a cool shot! Now how did you get that missy??

kHT · Post by **kHT** » Jul 03, 2008 4:06 pm

Just some plain old fashion red ones that was a gift.
I have some doubles and the old fashions in black & purple.

Can't stop yawning here....somebody keeps getting me up at 6...and my daughter is on school vacation! Wonder who sits on my deck so early in the morning
& keeps my flowers watered.....Oh...Hi Annie! LOL...

great shot! This one and all of them!

I know how she got that shot, Claudia! She was lying down to rest like her doctor ordered!

Annie, glad you chose to carry your camera...

Annie · Post by **Annie** » Jul 04, 2008 4:36 am

Charla, Claudia

Actually my camera has a tilt view finder on it! So I just flip it up and stuck it "underneath" the flower

Mom here was a bit angry with me yesterday. I didn't know I was so close to her baby

But she was letting me have it mouth full of a wormie thing or not!

And here was the reason she was sooooo grumpy!

And a bee trying to get his lunch.

And this is just a cool pic I thought

I'd be interested in sharing seeds in the fall if others are?

I would love to trade seeds with ya! I don't have any pretty red ones.
One question though, how do you save them before those little bugs bore holes in them?

Annie · Post by **Annie** » Jul 04, 2008 6:36 pm

I'm thinking maybe I should have posted this in the Garden Bench

Not all flowers are they

Well if ya need to move it Chris please do!

More weeds

And a corn field. There is something I just love about cornfields

They just look sooooo neat.
