    Love the skies Tibbs and Eldon. :) I love when the sky and clouds light up.

    Here's a cute little guy I found on a lily pad.

    Hmph. The trouble with working at the botanical gardens is never having time to *see* any of the botanical gardens unless it's something on the path from the trucks to the stage.

    However... This may not be exciting for anyone else, but I've only ever grown herbs before. This year I grew actual food! A few minutes ago I picked my first bell pepper and roma tomato, and I can't stop grinning. I'm giddy like a kid on Christmas! :-D

    Congrats Sgt. Tibbs!
    Don't forget to post a picture of the squash from your niece's ginormous plant. I can't wait to see it.
    It will be smoking big...:-D

    Well, those are incredibly beautiful veggies (yeah, yeah...tomatoes are technically a fruit :p), Tibbs!

    What are you going to do with them?

    Eldon, I'll do what I can. I don't always get to her house, but I'll try to get her to take pictures. There are actually something like 15 plants in that raised bed, but most of them were seeds labeled "winter squash mix" so it's hard to say what she'll get. LOL

    Laura, I've got half the green pepper in tonight's dinner (I ate the rest, and it was amazing!), and I think I just might slice the tomato and eat it sprinkled with a little sugar like we used to do with garden-fresh tomatoes when I was a kid.

    I'm ridiculously pleased with myself, although I know people have been growing food for thousands of years. :-D

    I have never tried tomato with sugar what a nice tip! Those look like beautiful specimens!!! Nice shot of them too, nice and colourful.

    Went for a walk up the Riverside yesterday and had one chance at capturing this Southern Hawker as it didn't land for long at all....

    Then was lucky enough to spot this Speckled Wood resting on a leaf...

    This isn't the best shot, but I snapped it this afternoon between rain storms because that plant in the foreground is my basil. Which is four feet tall! [​IMG]

    Apparently, I'll be making pesto this weekend. :-D

    Tuesday my niece and I took the kids to see the King Tut exhibit at our public museum. I really like how this one turned out, especially given that I was taking it in the dark with my phone. :)

    :) Thanks, Emma!

    The next competition is 'Street Photography'. When I was at my sister's in Washington DC this past Saturday, I took a bunch. I have to figure out what I'm going to submit.

    Beauty, Kes! I love blue flowers. hmmm...I have a pink version of this type of flower somewhere...looking to see if I can find it.

    Okay, well, these are not the same, but they are similar.

    Wow Laura, they are so beautiful!! Great capture of them! Wonder what they are called? :confused
     
  37. LauraR

    LauraR MajorGeeks Super-Duper Administrator Staff Member

    Thanks Emma.:) Honestly, I think they are just Pink Bellflowers. They must be in sort of the same family as yours.

    Thank you! It is very pretty. I always like it the first time it snows, but then I'm done with it. Unfortunately, it's not done with me until April. :rolleyes:

    Today the sun came out, so I snapped another one out my kitchen window.

    First time I've been out with the camera today, in a long time due to bad weather and other circumstances. This is a Mute Swan having a preen. Sun was shining today, it was beautiful.
