Lovely flowers. Color isn't always necessary to make a flower beautiful as you've proven here.

Beautiful, white macro shots Jo. I am especially fond of the Japanese iris, the last iris to bloom in my garden and worth the wait.

When I see white flowers, I think of them as more delicate than the rest for some reason. These show exactly that to me.

The fourth picture looks so fragile. The second picture is the one I like most! It looks very pretty!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
