Plein Air Patio

I have a "plein air patio"!  The lilies are blooming beautifully and the lantana is lovely.  I enjoy planning and planting in pots, in the ground, anywhere!  

Perennials for full/part sun are my favorites because of their vibrant colors, but it's hard to beat the beauty of a shady spot filled with lush green hostas.  This year "Endless Summer" hydrangeas will blanket the back corner of the yard.  They are small now but in time will grow large and produce abundant blooms.  I can't wait!

Autumn Glow

I took a Saturday morning walk around my office complex when the leaves were still intact. My goal was to shoot entirely in manual mode on my DSLR camera.  The air was crisp and the light was perfect for capturing the leaves' final "hoorah".  This image is one of my favorites--I love the glow and the bokeh.
