Bonsai!

Bylen is trying her hand at making bonsais. Here's her very first works. Not a bad start, I think.

Holly:


Japanese maples:

Wildflowers, etc.

Another day of fun with the digital camera. And more fun shots to entertain you.

Abbie, one of the neighbor's pups I've been dogsitting this past week (sleepy):

A common (wild) strawberry (nothing fancy, I just liked this shot):

A big yellow coreopsis (we have a nice field of them this year):

False Solomon's Seal:

Fleabane (pretty common, but I love it so!):

Groundsel:

Honeysuckle (aren't they pretty things?):

A huge old pine tree in our pasture. Anyone know what kind of pine this is? I've heard it's a Loblolly, but it looks like no Loblolly pine I've seen. I thought it might be a black pine. Any ideas are definitely welcomed, as I'd love to have more of these!

Big mountains, bigger sky:

A pair of mushrooms in the front yard:

Nodding(?) thistles:

Ox-eye daisy:

Queen Anne's Lace (aka Wild Carrot):

Red Trumpet Vine (?):

Incoming storm clouds that, fortunately, held off until our picture taking escapade was done:

Sweet Hedge:

Wild Garlic:
