Flower Focus
Was the past week hot for you? Goodness, it was ultra steamy here. The summer days are a blur with getting outside before the heat of the day, staying inside until right before dinner time. Then we take a quick swim in the pool so we can head back into the cool air-conditioned house. How can it be so hot so soon? Luckily, the powers that be are claiming that we will get a reprieve. I hope that is true. If you've noticed, I've been spending my Fridays documenting the flowers in the back yard about to bloom. I love how the camera focuses my attention to these details that ordinarily I would take for granted. Have you noticed that there really aren't that many insects around anymore. Well, let me rephrase that. There are plenty of mosquitos and biting flies. Oh and those lovely carpenter ants have decided to enter my home. I have taken it personally and it's an all out war on my turf. I have baits outside the house and inside the house. I shall win!
