Loving Nature

I was recently reading something about how to enjoy the natural things in life and one of the suggestions was to start taking nature photos. I have done this for many years but hadn't done it recently. So I took out the camera and walked around the yard; I found so many cool things to take pictures of.

Maple Tree in front yard

Above is one of my favorite trees in our yard; the pictures were taken from under the the maple tree. This is the tree that the boys love to climb when they are in the front yard.

Daisy and water drops on the hosta

The Hostas are my hubby's and we love to look at the water drops on the leaves. I was actually looking at this water drop on the hostas when I remembered the artical about taking natural pictures. The Daisies just opened a week or so before hand and I thought they looked really good.

Raspberries and a plant I don't know the name of

We have one raspberry (E taking post text), on the deck out back, and it did make some lovely fruit this year. We didn't actually get to 'gather' it really, as we ate each berry when it came ripe, while hanging out on the deck enjoying the world. Pretty and yummy!

Bleeding Hearts

The Bleeding Heart used to live in the yard, but now resides on the deck as well, and I have to say it seems quite happy there. I absolutely love this plant, and I really can't believe it makes the shape it does. Who came up with that? Kudos!

Since this post was started, there is more in the yard that looks worthy of some good photos. Perhaps there is more to come...
