Well, I’m back. My sudden trip to TX is now done and I’m glad to be home- it was hot! It is truly amazing to leave your garden, for even a few days, and see how fast everything grows while you’re away! I had to plant a few things quickly just before leaving too and even they grew fast. The rest of the bean seedlings I had, as well as some lettuce and New Zealand Spinach, had to be given away.
As tired as I am, I am glad that my daughter wanted to experiment with her Aunt’s camera, so she ran around the garden getting some fantastic shots. She has quite an eye and I think I should just have her take my pictures that I use on my blog from now on!
Things are really taking off this year! This post will showcase some great photos that my daughter took while experimenting with her Aunt Beth’s camera and in another post we’ll see what is growing in the food area of the garden. Taylor’s camera needs to be replaced soon, so this is a good test for another camera that won’t break the bank- so far I think she likes it. The shots below just got better and better as she played with the Canon Power shot SX110 is.
Coreopsis ‘Early Sunrise’
Crocosmia variety unknown
White Lily variety unknown
Sunflower ‘Strawberry Blonde’
Black-eyed Susan vine
Nasturtium ‘Cherry Rose Jewel’
Sunflower ‘Lemon Queen’

Yep, I think I’ll just let her take photos from now on!
Well, I’d better quite or this page will take forever to load, if it doesn’t already! I hope you are enjoying your gardens this week and as usual...
Happy gardening,
Tessa

I love your sunflowers. I wish mine would hurry up and bloom, but not even a bud in sight.
Well done Taylor a budding young artist clearly.
Looking good!! Have a great 4th!
I see someone has used the "budding young artist" phrase already, she is doing a great job.

Wow! Incredible photos. I have the same camera, but not the talent behind it. I was in Texas last week - it was 103 when I was there. I've never felt 3 digit heat before. -Jackie
I really like that nasturtium, so sweet & wonderful... it is really a jewel as the name suggests!
Hi Tessa, tell Taylor her photos are great! The colors of the nasturtium and sunflower are different but beautiful! That crocosmia might be Lucifer as my buds look like that right now too.

Hi Tessa And Taylor!,
Your photos are especially pretty.
I enjoyed them a lot! Keep it up.

Her pictures of your beautiful flowers are great. That is the camera I got about a month or so ago and I love it. Really easy, and I'm figuring it out more and more. Can't wait to see how the rest of your garden is doing.
Beautiful photos, Taylor!
Great idea to experiment with Aunt's camera.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Tessa, your daughter, Taylor, has the talent! Beautiful photos :)
