from my yard today...

Endless Summer hydrangea blossoms

green bean!  As an experiment this year, I planted bush beans in pots on my deck.  The experiment seems to be successful!

cherry tomatoes.  With all the rain lately, the tomato plants are going gangbusters.  I've already picked 2 romas and 2 cherries.  See the rain droplets?

SHAPES 

We've had numerous rainstorms in the past week.  They've been accompanied by great winds causing trees to snap and power outages.  A storm blew up as I was driving to the library last Tuesday.  I waited in my car before going in so as not to be drenched to the bone.  I had my camera with me!  So I amused myself.  This is a shot of a store window through my rain-splotted car window.

CLOUDS

such drama in the skies lately!  Here the sky is the bluest blue of fair Summer with puffy white clouds, and some menacing dark thunderous clouds thrown in for effect!

This is a very fun meme hostessed by Ashley Sisk in which 5 prompts are given and one must then take a photo to illustrate each one.  Come see how others have interpreted these words HERE!  (And you'll get to see photos of Ashley's newly born baby girl!)  You have till Tuesday, July 31 at midnight EST to join in.

Next week's words are Going Back in Time, Something Just for Me, Best Part of My Day, Night & Day, Look Up

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, North Rim.  A storm is coming up.

These are a few of my favorite photos from a trip to Utah in the late Summer of 2010.  I love the colors in all of them.  Some landscapes show stark vibrant contrasts--azure blue sky, sandy orange-red rock, vibrant forest green foliage, perhaps even a puffy white cloud.  Others have muted shades and layering of colors.
