Last night's moon.  Should have gone out to take photos by moonlight.
Didn't think of it until just now.

Harvesting currants.  Gift from grandparents about 35 years ago.
Not a banner year.  Four cups this week.
Need 18 cups for one batch of jelly.

It is a banner year for blackcaps.
Will be filling freezer soon.


Campanula Cherry Bells:

Butternut squash blossom.
Expected to see bees in these pots of gold.

Here are the honey bees - in the milkweed.
The milkweed was abuzz this morning.
Milkweed has a pretty scent.

Amaryth.  TY Ruby.

Wild daisies:

This verbascum is a considered a weed.  One of my favs!

Sundrops welcoming the day this morning:

Day lilies (known as ditch lilies) blooming profusely.
Certainly brightens my day.

 Toes on cactus and bud.  TY Ruby.

Two geraniums:

See how the farmer patiently waits
for the land to yield its valuable crop
and how patient he is 
for the autumn and spring rains.
