Queen Anne's Lace




Busy, busy, busy........between gardening and photography not much time for rest.  Slowly but surely the garden work is coming around.  I am redesigning my garden which meant one of 2 things lots of digging up sod or covering the area with black plastic for the summer.  I choose the black plastic.  I have taken some plants that needed to be relocated and transplanted them in pots for the summer.  In the fall everything will be put into a new location.  I hope the vision I have in my head looks as good in reality.
I will be planting some tomatoes and peppers this year.  I will be planting them after the full moon June 4th or there about.  Here in Maine it maybe still too cool at night for the tomatoes and peppers.  I hope to make some fresh salsa and can tomatoes at the end of the year.

In case you missed them I curated 2 treasuries this week.

This first one I dedicated to my Dad who was an avid fly fisherman.  He would be already gone fishing before the family was up in the morning on the weekends....and alot of times after dinner he'd be out fishing again...he tied his own flies too.  The only thing I regret was not having any photos of him doing what he loved best.  I sure do miss him!


Some great gifts for Dad too!

This next treasury is all for the Poppies.  They are starting to bloom in many areas now.


Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Flower Power Friday!





This week's featured flower is the Queen Anne's Lace!

First I would like to apologize for missing so many weeks of Flower Power Friday.  I have been busy with shows and farmers markets.  I have some down time and plan on catching up before the next wave of activity kicks in!


I love Queen Anne's Lace!  I realize that here in the U.S. it can be an invasive plant and is known as a weed, but I think it is quite lovely.  This flower can be found just about any were from the meadows to the cities. 
The Queen Anne's Lace is a member of the Parsley family and is sometimes known as a wild carrot, though it isn't edible.


I enjoy photographing this flower from the bottom and top of the flower.  It is beautiful all the way around!

Have a great week!
