Shadow Shot Sunday

Shadows need not be ignored - they can become the centre of interest in your photos! Join Tracy and the other shadow chasers at Hey Harriet for a fun weekly meme!

Summer has now officially ended and as I looked at my flowers I realized they wouldn't be around much longer. So here is a tribute to flowers and shadows!

The weather is changing slowly. I am now wearing a jacket and the fall flowers are out. I will certainly miss the beauty in the garden - I will have to depend on the lovely roses my husband brings me every couple of weeks! (Something else to be grateful for this week!)

Here are some more photos of the flowers we saw several weeks ago in Stratford.

Macro Flowers Saturday

Time once again to share the beauty of flowers - macro style.

I had to share the beautiful hibiscus we have blooming in our garden. After a week away I really thought I had missed all the blooms, but there are still many more to come.

Flowers are so gorgeous throughout the summer. With the heat and sun we have had, some are growing so much better!

Yesterday, we finally found out what was destroying our lovely sunflowers. A big gray squirrel was sitting in the big pot munching on a sunflower head! I didn't get a chance to photograph him though. At least I have taken a few photos before the plant was essentially eaten!

Here are a couple of other flowers from our gardens.

Time once again to showcase the beauty in gardens - whether our own or others.

While in Port Dover on Thursday for Canada Day (see here), besides the parade, I noticed so many lovely gardens and I had to take a few photos!

The roses in our garden are blooming nicely as are other flowers. I love this time of year, especially for the beauty around us!

It is such a lovely time of the year - so many flowers are in full bloom. Our gardens are starting to fill out and many of the flowers are blossoming. While getting the newspaper this morning I couldn't help notice 2 of the flowers.
