Postcard from Delaware

While it is raining hard today, I did manage to take some good photos earlier this weekend and the garden is looking pretty:

Garden Flowers

Week 19: Say it with flowers

Of course this week I was hardly home and also had very few flowers out. It has been a strange spring with large gaps between flowering. The bugle weed above is saying “mow the lawn”

Week 18: SOOC – straight out of the camera

Most of my pictures have minimal processing, so this was not a new idea for me. Harder than I expected though.

I do exist!

Or at least flowers still bloom in my garden:

I bought lots of ‘mums to cheer up the garden.  The garden now has lots of color.

The rain-barrel was newly installed with new gutters in August. I now have three rain-barrels.  However, until last week, we had hardly any rain to speak of, so they weren’t very functional.  After Thursday’s rain, this one in the front,  fell over and squashed the new gutter. Full rain-barrels are heavy.  Sigh.  The ground below the breeze-blocks obviously wasn’t as level as I had thought, despite what the spirit level said.

Daylily and other garden photos

Yes, I ate the black raspberry right after taking this picture.  Nom, nom.

Lily

Much Maligned Dandelion

Pink Tulip

Spring Flowers: Purple Crocus

As requested by Chemgeek who is feeling the winter in Minnesota, obviously.

Purple Crocus

I’ll take some more and post them later this week.  In the meantime, click on the photo and it will take you to my 2010 garden set.
