hydrangea's, somewhere I don't have any of this variety/type -- I have 3 bushes of the lacecap ...but they are all pretty ....

the picture that started it all --- i was a "my garden" guest picture --- it was fun

more daylilies -- my favorite source for daylilies is Garfield Gardens in Lonsdale Minnesota -- google them it's a cool deal ....

the colors of fall --

i thought it was time for a butterfly ....

okay, it's a little crooked -- i think i took this in the fall of 1978 -- back when we actually used black & white film and manual 35mm camera's --- anyway -- taken from the bluff -- and it's the farm we used to live on --- the river is a mere 100 years to the right of the bridge -- ergo a lot of flooding -- it's abandoned now ...

okay, this Norweigian Ice Breaker is all the rage in Minnesota these days.  He's arrived in at least 6 mails this week along.
