This week's Sunday Stroll is going to look a little different. Almost all the photos I take are close-ups. But what I see is, as Mr. Wordsworth said, "a host" of mallow or daylilies or brown-eyed Susans or Rosa rugosas. The pictures never, ever capture the beauty I see, and they tend to make those beautiful flowers into a blur, but still, I want to post them just to give you an idea of the great masses of color.
Just outside the kitchen door, mallow and daylilies
You can see how windy it is today

Reminder: In case you missed it, go here for a chance to win a Gladys Taber book.
Nan, The wide-shots are very pretty - just in a different way than the close-ups. My favorite is the one with the laundry dancing in the wind. We are having the same sort of wind today.
ReplyDeleteYour farm is looking lush and colorful right now! :)
You have such a nice variety, and such large groupings of things. I also enjoy seeing your woods, which have different trees than we do here-birches, for instance. It's fun to get on blogs and see the country without having to travel.
ReplyDeleteNan, it is windy here in SW IN too. Your wide shots are full of color. I love seeing your groupings dancing in the wind. Your veggie garden looks so lush.
ReplyDeleteI love your Sunday Strolls. You live in a little bit of paradise, you know?
ReplyDeleteOh, Nan, I wish I could walk there in the pastures...
ReplyDeleteMallow is the plant used for making marshmallows originally. Thanks for showing it to me as I'd never known that was what I was looking at. Being the botonist that I am.
Nan, Les already said it, but I'll repeat it since it's what was going through my head looking at your photos....you live in a little piece of paradise!
