Life’s adventures are conspiring to keep me from going hiking, paddling or having other fun times away from home. What to do? Yesterday I went outside for some errand or another and I noticed that the rising fog was leaving tiny droplets on all the flowers and foliage. I rushed upstairs to get my macro lens to capture a few images before the moment dried up and went away. Flowers still blooming include sweet peas, nasturtiams, parsley, coneflower (well barely still holding on to some color), asters and some sunflowers. Temperatures tonight are forecast into the twenties and tomorrow night, the LOW twenties. Maybe even the teens. Good thing I got a few more images of summer before it all goes away.
Perennial aster, one thing the deer don’t seem to eat at all
Coneflower or echinacea, something that deer seldom even taste
Leeks, inside the garden fence
Nasturtiam, also inside the fence
Parsley umbel growing in a planter on the deck
Oh yeah, these sunflowers are inside the fence. deer love them.
Sweet peas. I like sweet peas. These grow on the garden fence. Fortunately, they grow tall and the deer only get some of them.
Yup, I really like sweet peas.

Captivating shots! And the sweet peas are really beautiful!
They are so beautiful! What about trees? I love trees more than flower and I always have a note about their blooming season. Nice to meet someone who has same interest with me! ;D
Oh I do photograph trees too. See https://myeverydayphotos.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/aspen-lake/ for a recent example.
Thanks so much.
These are gorgeous.
A perfect example of tiny, little things uncoiling to life.. Very wonderful shots. A flower is always a very interesting subject as it speaks multi-colors of the wonders of nature.
Thanks for sharing!
So many oohs and aahs as I look at your photographs. Simply beautiful.
Beautiful job using your macro lens. Gorgeous shots! Sweet peas are a favorite of mine too. A very timeless flower. 🙂
great photos!
Pretty!! 😀 I love pictures of flowers .. ‘specially dew covered ones.

Gorg! I wonder if the deer don’t eat those flowers because animals stay away from eating brightly colored things? They are missing out, those flowers would be great in a salad.
Beautiful!! 🙂 I like them.
Lovely, my parents are going to grow some flowers and plants in our garden very soon. Did you grow these yourself?
Yes, it’s my garden. Thank you.
Wow, love the look and the colours! The dew drops on the spider web on the leeks look like a delicate necklace. So well captured 🙂
Nice! Such bright colors, you have a gift. 🙂
