Stormclouds in August...

After thumbing our noses at this type of entertainment for all our lives,
we finally packed our bags....

 and reached here under the gathering storm....
To sample some Butterbeer and goodies.

Summer thunderstorms and Jasmine




For a heartbeat,  one was back  during the Southwest monsoons: the smell of rain and wet earth and trees.

Coneflowers and Lilies...

An Hybrid variety of Echinacea but gorgeous gorgeous shade of pink!
Loved them on the weathered blue gray of our deck but it would soon be transplanted.
Had to move them to the shade during the 3 digit temperatures during the last week; the buds were getting burnt!

Tulips at  Lewis Ginter.

Early Spring:

Our neighbour's Kwanzan Cherry blossoms...always happy to share!
A little late in posting these early spring beauties; no tinkering with any software in these snapshots!
Remember the day as being cloudy.
