Birds, Flowers and Our New Deck - New Camera



This was a wonderful summer - very short - almost didn't get here - but it was fabulous while it was here. This is one of my favorite views of our new deck. Now that the weather has become chilly we are not spending time out there - but we enjoyed it almost every night during the summer.

The petunieas were fabulous in the deck railing planters. Some were ruffled . . .




And some were plain - I'd never seen the two kinds together before . . .

While at the bay one day I spotted this seagull on a lamp post . . .

Got a close up of him with my new camera . . .


And a super close up . . .

Isn't he pretty - sitting there and posing for me?



Thanks, seagull!

  2. Oh yes we'll soon be missing the flowers of summer, but I'm working on embracing the cooler weather right now. I love white petunias, ruffled or otherwise, so pretty! ~Lili
