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.
