My Peony Garden

 June was a month full of Peonies along my fence.

A glimpse of one out of my sketchbook.

 This year they lasted well into July.

They started out as a vibrant pink.

 Everyday was a party of pinkness.

 As the weeks went on the color started to mellow out.

 Then we had a terrible storm and over half of them landed on the ground.

 They were all hit hard and drooping.

 A lot that were still on the stalk looked like this.

The few with petals began to take on an abstract form.

 By the beginning of July,,,the last petals.

 As of yesterday......

 Reminds me of a jester´s hat.....

 Looks like a moose head....

The new and the old.  

What a difference a month and a half makes.

I am sharing this with
Paint Party Friday, Weekend Flowers Fridays, Sweet Shot Tuesday, Floral Friday Foto
and Outdoor Wednesday.

Along My Fence II

A happy bee in my garden along the fence. 

I have an abundance of pink Cosmos this summer.

Summer has returned to Germany this week.  Beautiful, breezy  and sunny.

What more could a girl ask for?

Along My Fence

There are so many flowers in bloom along my fence.

There are so many different kinds of bugs on these flowers along my fence.

This one is all over the yellow flowers.

Atleast he doesn´t bite like so many of the other ones do.

One of the many joys of summer around here,,,the biting flies.

I am sharing this with Sunday Best, Macro Monday, I Heart Macro and

Hope you are all having a good start to your week.
