As summer winds down I took some photos a couple of weeks ago of the flowers in our backyard. The lilies bloomed later this year but have been worth the wait. The delphiniums have reached up 6' from the ground.
The flowers brighten our days through the summer.
Oh, those are gorgeous, Bill. Thanks for sharing. With everything going on in the world, it's good to see beautiful flowers. I like those reminders that the world keeps turning, if I can put it that way.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. We seem to live in an ever angrier world. Maybe we all could benefit by some contemplation of beautiful flowers.
DeleteThe flowers are lovely, Bill. I especially like the peachy-reddish lilies with the yellow centers. And the delphiniums are impressive. I agree, flowers brighten our days. Glen and I have enjoyed the hummingbird that has been visiting the cuphea plants and we just got a lion's tail that attracts hummingbirds too. We hope it lasts through the winter.
ReplyDeleteTracyK: Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed the photos you recently posted.
DeleteI found your blog via Tracy's and coincidentally I just finished a book set in Saskatchewan. In addition to being a mystery fan, I have always been interested in historical fiction about WWII, including stories about evacuees. Recently, someone recommended author Lynne Reid Banks' book, Uprooted, a fictionalized version of the years she, her mother, and cousin spent in Saskatoon as war guests. It was very interesting, particularly as a look at Canada during WWII.
