Leftovers -Around The Yard

Some leftover shots from around the yard.



My favourite "wildflower". 
Most people think of dandelions as weeds, 
but I think of them as flower food for bees.


A pretty in pink bachelor button.


Nirbert, one of my garden gnomes got a new paint job!


You are never too old to blow bubbles...then take a picture of one!


A Blue Jay, keeping an eye on...


The yard guard, my dog Merfy.

  1. Loving your yard shots.
    I am also really, really looking forward to when it is cold enough here to freeze bubbles. My inner child is alive and well. She is getting a tad impatient though.

  2. More gardeners should adopt your attitude towards dandelions, Karen, and cease viewing them as a pestilence from hell to be destroyed on sight.

  6. Great shots here. As with you, I like dandelions. Although a "weed", they brighten up a lawn!

  8. I don't mind dandelions. As long as they are on my neighbours' lawn and not my own.

  24. Your yard guard is so sweet ... and I’m sure he does his job. Love the bubble shot ....I used to take bubble stuff out on our boat, it’s fun to blow bubbles as you go! Not sure why I stopped. I like your attitude toward dandelions... I’ve often wondered why people hate them so.

  25. We don't bother with the dandelions for the same reason...lovely photos...
