Gone to seed



Broccoli gone to seed in my husband's garden last spring.
Currently, his garden spot is grown up in weeds as he was not able to plant anything this year before he died.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it next year, but I'm going to keep the fence up and keep the weeds beat down this year until I decide.  I have visions of becoming the old widow woman in the gardening hat with hoe in hand in a garden full of flowers.
We'll see what next year brings.

I am going to halt The Barn Collective for now.  I don't know if I will continue it at a later time or not.  I will be happy for someone to pick it up.  Just let me know.

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments and emails.  Words can be of such great comfort in times of grief.  We are very fortunate to have friends who have visited both at the hospital (two hours away) and at home, brought food, ran errands, looked after my mother, fed the cats, and even mowed the lawn.  My son and I are plodding along with each day.  He will be starting his permanent job next week after a delay due to the illness and death of his father.  I am glad he has something to occupy his mind.

Until next time.

Eat your leafy greens


He thought he was fooling me


but I had already caught him in the act.
Only a few stems were down to a nub.

It's a challenge.



My Canon Macro 100mm 2.8L is my favorite lens.
I still have to work on moving off 2.8 in order to get more in focus.
It's a hard thing.

Take a picture . . .


. . . it'll last longer.

This is a repost from a couple of years ago.  
I'm out of new things!

Deanna made me do it.


Use my favorite macro lens, that is.


I hadn't used it in a while.



It is still my favorite lens!

Thanks, Deanna, for reminding me!!!

Enamored with Zinnias



My husband planted Zinnia seeds in the garden this year.

They are beautiful.  Please forgive my posting so many, but I just couldn't leave any out.

Go away, you're botherin' me


This hairy creature ran from its web when I got back out with the camera.



I really, really hate spiders so I'm a little surprised that I got close enough to get these.


Since it seemed more afraid of me, I kept at it.



I have the heebie-geebies now.

Do you?
