Nice photos! I always stare at flowers like these (the hydrangea especially) and get impatient waiting for them to keep opening buds. The watched pot never boils.

Great photos. I'm always fascinated with watching flower buds and checking their progress. My neighbors probably think I'm nuts as I stand and stare at bloom-less plants.

Interesting in the last shot how the cluster of buds is heart-shaped.

Nice series of shots.

Gorgeous macro shots. That first one almost looks like a pinecone before it opens up. The third has some fabulous colors in it.

The detail here is unbelievable, Joanne. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether the flower is just opening or whether it's the seed pods I'm looking at but either way they're gorgeous.

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.
