I’d like to limit this throw down to only what is growing in your garden. Or your neighbors garden. Or a garden you happen to walk or drive by. And lets keep it narrowed down to just the four seasons. Thanks.
Dahlia.

I like red sunflowers. We used to grow a variety called Velvet Queen. Was similar to this one.

Thanks Diane. That is why I shot this one…the heart! One of a kind sunflower.

Is getting late in the season. Nice Dahlia. We had a “Just Joey” rose which had this apricot color. Was one of our favorites.

Best thing about growing spiders in your garden is you hardly ever have to water them. Cool looking spider. I like the curvy background too.

Still waiting for ours as well Diane! They are our late bloomers and I love them for the splash of colour in late summer/early fall. Great shot, Dave!

Carol loves using them as part of her dried wreaths she gives as gifts for that very reason.
-
September 14, 2019 at 8:38 pm #419434
Do you have a picture of a wreath? Would love to see!
-
September 15, 2019 at 2:53 am #419441
Couldn’t find any pics of her wreaths. She made two kinds of dried wreaths. Dried flower and dried herb. Flower wreaths had straw flowers, statice, dried roses, pearly everlastings and small pink flowers that dried well that we would find on the side of the road. We never found out what they were. Also some type of herb to add some green.
Her herb wreaths had oregano, thyme, sage, and one or two others I can’t remember. Sometimes would add one or two garlic bulbs. These wreaths were for hanging in your kitchen and using as needed.
No wreath pics but found a few old farm pics that were fun to see again. Taken with a Canon Power shot long before I bought my first DSLR.
I think this was our 2nd year of running the farm stand. Cider was brand new. Carol was newer too. 🙂

-
September 17, 2019 at 11:27 pm #419726
Love the farm pics, Dave! Thanks for sharing. It looks very much like a labour of love!
My Mom used to use the straw flowers and other everlastings to place in the front pocket of bread dough dolls. She sold/gave them away as ornaments to be hung on the wall.
-
September 18, 2019 at 9:50 am #419752
🙂 My mon made bread dough ornaments to sell at Christmas. We had a pretty goof run at the farm store for 12 years. Didn’t hurt to have two wineries/tasting rooms less than a mile away from us. Sure helped with the amount of traffic driving by. 🙂

Allows Edits? YesThanks Dave, strange you said that about processing red, because I noticed an odd thing …. in LR, in the Develop side the red looked good, when I went back to Library to export it, the red changed slightly. This has happened to me before, but I don’t know why. Any ideas?
-
September 9, 2019 at 9:52 am #419032
Sorry Diane. I can offer no help. My battle with the color red is if I have a lot of it in the frame it tends to get oversaturated. Can be fixed in post to varying degrees depending on the situation.

The Lensbaby gives a wonderful, dream like quality to your image. Beautiful color as well. This year my wife and I became big fans of butterflies and Monarchs in particular. The butterfly garden we put in included plenty of Milkweed. No Monarchs yet but we’ve got our fingers crossed for next year. 🙂
-

I saw a Luna moth but it flew away before I could get close enough 🙁
-
October 20, 2019 at 4:54 pm #422455
Maybe next time. 🙂 I’d love to just SEE a Luna moth. We didn’t have a lot of variety of butterflies visit our garden this year. I think it was five different kinds. But we’re just getting started. 🙂
