Sunday Garden Fotos

A Sleepless night led to being greeted in the garden with this bloom! Can't complain about 
the lack of sleep when I was
gifted the opportunity to photograph the flower. I missed the first
two blooms last week when the heat wilted them before 9am. 


By 10am the flower had closed up and now at 11am the sun is burning the tips. 
This is the first morning in months that the morning was cool enough 
to spend some quality time in the garden. 



 Our furkid, Spencer, joined me on the patio much to the dismay of the hordes of birds that
daily visit the feeder. The finches return if we sit still enough.

Fire-sticks.

 One dove attempted to be brave enough to scrounge the ground for seed, 
but after a couple of minutes flew off.

Safe on the neighbors roof this dove kept looking me in the eye, or giving me the eye. 

Wishing everyone a Super Sunday.
