More beauty in my gardens.

 The gardens are in full bloom and small wonderful.

 I love the Asiatic  lilies.

 The deep burgundies are special to me.

Another busy day both in the house and the studio.

Need to finish my Quilt National entry enough so I

can do the hand stitching while recuperating from surgery.

WELL I AM OFF AND RUNNING.

Close up and personal

 Just a close up view of some of my favorite flowers,

 The garden is in full bloom right now.

 Flowers look amazing close up.

 Just love the spots on the Tiger lily.

Pond lilies

The pond is putting on a spectacular show of lilies this

year. All because my husband did not have the energy

to clean it this spring. All that fish poo makes for

lots of lilies. 

 What a happy accident.

We did mot put any fish in this spring.

We will definitely clean it out this fall.

In the meantime we will enjoy the show.
