It's SunFlower Days In The Garden

Anyone who knows me, knows I love Sunflowers.  I believe that sunflowers will be one energy source of the future.  So it was with great zealotness that I photographed the annual opening of my first sunflowers of the season early this morning......There are some sunflower photo's that resemble a human eye. The resemblence is uncanny.  Check 'em out.

Pears Right Off The Backyard Tree....And Pear Crisp

The claw...This tool is as old as the hills, it's an antique I'm sure, and gets the job of pear picking done.

I see some Pear Crisp in my future.....Yummy for my Tummy.

The caterpillar was on one of the pear leaves I picked, so I'm thinking it's a pear caterpillar that eats pear leaves....

Go figure huh?

The preparation for making pear crisp pie......

Yummy.

Little Beans, Little EggPlant and Little Cucumbers....... They're Coming Along In The Garden

The only thing unique in this picture are the black raspberries.  The vine on which they grow have no thorns.  NONE, Not absolutely One. That is what makes these berries one of the most different I've ever seen and they grow here, in my garden.

1 Praying Mantis, 1 Sunflower Leaf, 1 Camera, 4 Photos

Yesterday as I watered the garden and  flowers and all points in between I noticed this praying mantis just sitting on a sunflower leaf minding his own business.  I hurried up ran in the house to get my camera and shot these photos.  Only 1 is photo-shopped. The Fish Eyed 3rd Photo.  I left him alone after that being careful not to squirt him off his leaf with my hose and proceeded to water the rest of the garden.

Tornado Warning Storm Clouds One Day......Sunny & Sun Flowers The Next Day

So  comparing and contrasting one day to the next in this photo blog is like night and day. Yesterday there were tornado warnings and sirens blaring and then a rainy deluge, today the sun is shining brightly, the sunflowers are happy and growing from the much needed rain. The farmers(and gardeners) are happytoo.  That's the way it was moving west I guess, and farming and gardening and planting and the whole outdoor experience.

Five Minutes.....One Sky......9 Photos

It took me about five minutes to get these gorgeous cloud photos by just stepping outside, pointing and shooting whereever I looked to take these gorgeous clouds.
