Clearing The Camera

Here are some recent photos I've taken that I wanted to share. Go here if you'd like to see more photo posts.

Some of the gorgeous lettuce we've been harvesting lately.

Water droplets on our Lily of the Valley.

Fern transplanted from my grandma's garden.

The first strawberry we harvested this season. It was really delicious!

A beautiful Asiatic Lily just opened up.

Sunlight streaming through the trees during an evening walk.

Super tiny, fuzzy headed baby bird just hatched in a nest by our garage.

Hope you've enjoyed a slice of our homestead.

    I took a very similar photo of my lettuce in a colander I received for my birthday last month. Lettuce is really quite beautiful. I hope you get more strawberries!

    It looks like the season's moving along nicely at your place. I have some Snapdragons here that cannot make up their mind if they want to flourish or die, and they seem to do both regularly, lol

    That strawberry looks pretty tasty!

    How cute is that fuzzy baby bird? LOVE THAT! Also, I think food tastes so much better when you harvest it yourself! There is nothing like the very first strawberry of the season!

    I love your photos! I am in need of a great camera. The hubby bought me one a few years back as a present. I didn't have the heart to tell him it doesn't take the best shots. That lily is stunning!!!

    I really enjoy your photos when you are Clearing the Camera. Today my favorite one is the Sunlight streaming through the trees. Oh, I think we have the same bird nesting at out place. This is the second bird this season to use our outdoor ceiling fan to build a nest (or rebuild it in this girls case), but our new babies look exactly like the one you pictured. Do you know what kind of bird it is?

    The last photo is the best. I love those little birdies. We have a dove nest in our backyard tree. Can't see any action yet. I just see either a head or tail feathers of mama sitting in the nest.

    That is the most beautiful lily I've seen!! Too bad they don't last longer. also adorable baby bird - Only a could love - all that fuzz on top of his head. Instead of growing into his teeth or ears - He'll be growing into his beak!!
