In bloom at the Moorings community gardens
APAW & FOTD: Hibiscus
I took this photo about 3:45 pm today – I liked the way the backlit sunshine brought out the details of the flower! This is for Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week challenge with the topic of “natural lighting” and Cee’s Flower of the Day 8/15/21.
FOTD: Bending Toward the Sun
I know that sunflowers turn themselves to face the sun, but it appears black eyed susans do the same. I can’t think of any reason for this entire mass to be bending in the direction of the sun. It wasn’t windy and there were no signs of someone or something running over them!
FOTD: Tangle of Cornflowers & Queen Anne’s Lace
The foliage that surrounds our West Pond has grown prodigiously this year, and makes the area seem more “wild” and natural. Here are two of the flowers that grow alongside the pond.
Head over to Cee’s FOTD 8/5/21 for a variety of beautiful blooms!
FOTD: Lilies & buds
FOTD: Hydrangeas
I took these photos around the Moorings campus today as I was taking a walk.
Cee has another beautiful hydrangea photo in her FOTD 7/31/21!
CFFC/FOTD: Brighten Your Day With Yellow!
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week has the topic yellow. This is also my contribution to Cee’s Flower of the Day 7/30/21.
A gallery of sunflowers from the Moorings community gardens!
There are also lovely patches of black eyed susans around campus that brighten my day during my walks.
Another community garden flower: a bright yellow zinnia.
FOTD: Zinnia
The Moorings community garden is lush and full of flowers, vegetables, and herbs! I took some photos there the other day of some of the beautiful blooms.
FOTD: All By Herself
One Black-eyed Susan, all by herself! This flower attracted my attention, among all the greenery. Usually Black-eyed Susans are in large groups of yellow and black!
FOTD: Petunias
These petunias adorn the deck at our daughter’s house. I have also included a photo I made using SnapSeed.
