I took these while home for Fathers Day. My dad is soo cute. One day he was out driving and saw these cool flowers growing in our pasture. He thought they would look really good lining our drive way so he grabbed a bunch and planted them.

Then one day he was walking to the mail box and noticed this smell.. **sniff**sniff** Wait..that smellls like...No...It can't be... but it was.

The closer he got to the plants the more and more he smelled it.

Yep. He had planted wild GARLIC all the way up and down his long drive way. LOL Atleast I can be assured that no vampires are going to wander down the road to my parents house anytime soon.

...but they are pretty... :)

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Land on my finger. :) I used to stand around in the yard with my cousins chanting this all the time. My mom always said if you were really quite and really still they would hear you calling them and land on your finger and bring you good luck. Looking back I think my mom made it up to keep us children quite and entertained. It worked. :)

so tiny...

Another back yard find. I thought I was shooting a lady bug, but this isn't quite the kind that I am used to.

Rise and shine...

I have such lovely "flowers" growing in my yard this week right now. Even though I was out sick, I couldn't resist grabbing some shots before my husband mowed the grass.


PS... I love my 100MM Macro lens. I bet my neighbors who see me on my hands and knees in the weeds think I am crazy. I really have found the most interesting things while laying on my stomach in my backyard. :)
