Just simple beauty -one petal at a time
Hollyhocks-I would love to get these started. I have tried before. They are biannuals, but with the seeds dropping they can become annual bloomers, also. I will get them to a certain height, then a strong wind comes along, and bam, lays them flat.
You know my O'z ark blog has pretty much turned into a photo blog! The top pic is of the bloom from my red onions that I planted. I expected them to get as big as the ones in the grocery store, but they haven't. The package said to pick them once the blooms appeared, however, the largest one has been the size of a golf ball instead of a softball.

Daylillies
Snake in Eden?
Super Telephoto-420-800mm lens
I am just now getting the hang of the telephoto lens. Even on the tripod, everything wobbles and weaves. By the time that I get it focused, the slightest breath and I have a blurred photo. I dreamed of shots that looked like National Geographic. I still have more to learn. It is impressive that this bird is so far away that I could just tell that it was on the wire by the naked eye. I think that I need to still work on the internal setting too for the camera because the sky is an unforgiving background. Also, it was 99 degrees so my patience level was a little off. I have ordered some more bird identification books as I gave Dad mine last summer.
