A Flower a Day for February .

We've three peony beds/colonies/bushes in the yard--one in the nameless garden beside the daylilies, a second in the spreading forsythia hedge, and a third hiding behind the apple trees where only the (vacant) house-behind-our-house neighbors can see them. (Yeah, I was mocking Theresa for this just yesterday. Go figure.) This one's beneath the forsythia. This morning's b&w was from the nameless garden. They're all quite pretty this week....

A flower a day for January ....

A year ago I took a few pics around the yard, then headed off to the cemetery. Since I was dissatisfied with all the graveyard pix, I went with a new-hatched Peony. And here it is again, from a different angle. ( And here's another blossom, photographed the same day, in color, via the Nikon 1 . I had Peonies on the brain a year ago.) ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 20 Title of " roll :" Meadowbrook Other photos taken on 6/6/2012: Our yardwork was pretty much done, which is most of what the Daily Flower Census showed; besides the Peonies I found a really nice Zinnia and some Roses. In the evening, reading on the porch, a Downy Woodpecker was keeping me entertained: I took 72 pix of his antics.
