My daylilies must have known about 'Yellow' day. The first summer bloom opened this morning. What lovely timing.
1. One of the books in Emma's summer book stack.
2. Daylily - yellow is not my favourite colour in the garden but this soft, lemony yellow is perfection.
3. Buttercups
4. Shasta Daisy
5. Grape tomato blossoms
6. 'Pineapple' tomato blossoms - I cannot wait to see the fruit!
7. Yellow clematis tangutica - Gorgeous but highly invasive.
8. Gaillardia - Gallo Peach Blanket
9. Dandelion - so maligned yet really quite beautiful close up.
10. Heron and Canada Geese with reflection from the street light taken last night when Emma, Meeko and I went for a walk with the mosquitoes. The photo is not super sharp because I took it at dusk but I couldn't resist including it.
Wishing you a sunshiny day!

You have a lovely blog! I found you through the Summer Colours Week on Flickr. I'll stop back by again!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for dropping by. I'm delighted you found me.
DeleteWonderfully sunny ! I wish I could send you half (or the whole of it !!) the sun we've been having these days, I am SO very longing for a cold & rainy summer ! LOL

A little weather exchange every now and then could be quite interesting! :)
DeleteI love yellow, such a chreeful color!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you were so right about the flower! It will definately be easier taking care of it now when I know what it is! :-)
Yellow is Chloé's favourite colour. Her bedroom was sunshine yellow for a long time but now is electric lime green. She has always loved bright colours.
DeleteI'm glad my ID was correct! :)
Love the photos again, I don't think I have one yellow flower right now, yours are beautiful, the crinckly edges on the day lily are so lovely, what a soft yellow. It looks like a fun thing to do with the colours! I knew you would suss that flower out! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the crinkly edges of that daylily too.
Deletethat last photo is amazing
ReplyDeleteThanks Margie. I was lucky. I was concentrating on taking a photo of the heron when the geese swam into view.
DeleteSo glad you did include the last photo! Even if you did get a few mosquito bites, I think it was worth it, just for that lovely shot!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Every time I see buttercups, I want to put them under my chin, like when I was a kid and ask someone, "Well, do I like butter?" (so weird) Do you remember that little "game" ?
I definitely did the buttercup under the chin thing when I was younger. I just found out since having Meeko that buttercups are toxic, so good thing we didn't try to eat them when we were young!
DeleteReally?! Good to know!
