I would love to claim some sort of participation in the growing of these summer blooms, but I actaully snuck into my neighbor's yard to snap these pics. My neighbor has the most beautiful garden and spends time every weekend tending the beauties in his yard. As my yard is full of half dead "sort of grass", you can't really blame me for enjoying the bounty of my neighbors'. I'm also trying my hand for the first time at digital photo capturing/editing after being inspired by some of the coolest bloggers around (http://www.mycharmingkids.net/, http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/), and getting some new software yesterday. While not completely satisfied, I had alot of fun messing around with these and figure things can only get better, right?
