Today was just packed full of things to do. After work we set to mulching the front flower-bed and I thought it would make a nice post. LJ just loved helping move the wheelbarrow and shoveling. BJ and Dad did the polishing touches of smoothing out and washing the sidewalk off. Here are the pictures of the job and the finished product.
After the work was done. I thought that I’d get some pictures of the flowers that are blooming and just ramble. Here is what I came up with. Some of these are unedited. Straight from the camera to you. Others... well. They are slightly edited. ;)
One of my personal favorite self portraits... :)
This ant was very determined to not let me get his picture. Well... after much stress I finally got him! :)
Tomorrow is another big work day. The mower at work is finally fixed so we have been mowing like crazy! Thankfully we have the vacuum running otherwise we could almost sell some hay! :)
That pic of you is AWESOME!!! I have always wanted to get a pic like that!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the mulch didn't look as nice after we left...Sorry! Great job though and the flower pictures look great. The self portrait is very cool and how neat to get close-up shots of an ant!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Tell LJ thanks for my yellow flower! :)
WOW! The picture of you is awesome! Love it!!! Very *cough* thoughtful and reflective looking :)

Yeah, Lis tried it after she saw that sp, but it was very,um, well, she looked like, well, I am not going to say anything besides..she failed!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone...... Here is how I took the photo... ( so that Anna will speak no more of failures. :) Also... I used Super Macro for the close up pics if your camera has that. It works really well.
ReplyDeleteI took my camera and stuck down into the bush...( Don't worry. It won't hurt the camera :) I then pointed it back out at me and then took the picture. I was crouched down like a catcher in baseball if that helps. I was actually trying to get leaves on either side of me but it didn't work.... that was a failure. No comment allowed Anna. JK :)
Very funny...but I NEVER fail! I just wasn't really trying... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, what kind of camera do you have?
That's a first born comment, "I never fail"!!!!
