The light of a solar lamp is sort of interesting when you see the details on the angel. I like the distance and removal of self from the shot.

Focus in the first is upon the flower, using the birdhouse as the backdrop, and in the second focus is on the wood of the bird house.

This is a perennial bulb, a small dahlia, that had a hard time last year. All the rain meant a lot more snails and they devastated this poor plant. I had one bloom all last year. This year I covered the soil with snail bait (animal safe!) and got many blooms including this one. Two shots, with the first on the flower, the second on the small beetle.

This is really just gratuitous, I love this flower, and it's my blog....deal with it! ;)

and for some yard art, this I liked a lot. I had about 3-4 shots, some with the sun bursting, but this with all the colors glittering in the background struck me as very pretty!
