… and then KABOOM – purple flowers in every direction.

Alliums
I keep going back to alliums as subjects – this is one caught in the moment right before the pod erupts and it becomes a big purple firework. I love the way the flowers are clustered and packed, ready to reach out in every direction.
Not a monarch
I was all excited to discover monarchs on the same flowers as the bees, but they were very very hairy – turns out they’re Painted Lady Moths. Ah well – they’re orange and that’s cool! 🙂
Bees
We have a bunch of sedum plants in the front yard that produce nectar that bees love, so every year I hide in the bushes like a paparazzi and snap pictures of them going about their business.
Flowers
Georgia O’Keeffe supposedly once quipped: “I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.”
Tomatoes
It’s that time of year again! Our first tomatoes are turning red – it won’t be long now and we’ll be buried in delicious garden veggies.
