I love to photograph nature in my garden or elsewhere.  I think I love the flowers more so because where I grew up, not much would grow.  I am still excited by the hydrangeain my front yard that goes crazy every year.  My future mother-in-law drops by to plant something once in a while.  Here is one of her gifts that she planted as a very small cutting. wallflowers I showed you before how I have a "pet" spider who eats all the wasps and bees he can catch.  Now he is just  hamming it up for the camera.  He knows I like to shoot his photo.  We also have some very vivid canassky flowers and the strangest thing happened last week.  Three adult parrots (wild) flew on to our power lines for a visit.  They were amazing, but too far for great shots.  Just thought I would include them because of the oddity of having wildparrots  show up in the yard. The far left one is even hanging upside down.

This doesnt really belong with anything else I have, but I really love the image of this abandoned Avocado fan.  They used to be used to keep air flowing through avocado fields.  I just think its really interesting with its color against the sky, and all its rust.Avo

This is Spidey, He is inviting you to come into my garden where there are always beautiful colors of fragrant spring spidergreenHe is a Green Lynx Spider.  They grow to be about the size of the end of your pinkey.  Where most spiders are not welcome, he is my friend.  His choice meal is the Wasps and Bees that try to keep me at bay when I want to smell the flowers.  Some of his favorite places to hide are the beautiful Canas.  They come in many colors but his favorites are the Yellow yellow and the pink CanaP He lurks there, and with amazing speed jumps out and grasps onto prey his own size or a bit smaller.  He is not the least harmful to humans and will jump away from you.  He also favors these beautiful white flowers. whiteopen So, think of my friend spidey as the sun sets Red red_skyor orange He may be curling up under a leaf on the west coast rose roseR Hoping to catch a nap after feasting on a wasp. sunset
