POTD - A flower recap

Well I had planned to wrap up the week of flowers with the color Yellow but since it is raining I could not get out and get any shots of the yellow flowers in the yard.

So here are a few that I had taken through out the week that have not been posted yet.

POTD Flowers- Pretty in Pink

Well I decided another day with a color theme couldn't hurt. Here are some pinks for your viewing pleasure.

POTD Flowers- Red

And this post of flowers is brought to you by today's sponser, the color Red.

I kept it simple so I would be able to name the flowers i am posting.

First up one of my all time faves, the Gerbera Daisy





And then we have some pretty lillies that just started to bloom today...




And not exactly flowers but still red, here are some wild strawberries growing by the side of our deck.

POTD Flowers- The whitish family

Okay so these are not all completely white but close enough.

Pat yes the ones from yesterday have grassy-type leaves that are big and broad

here are some dogwoods






Here are a few wild flowers from my back yard




And this is a clematis from a couple weeks ago, I just really like it..

POTD Flowers- Purple

For those wondering the 2nd and 3rd pics from yesterday are of a perenial called Kelaidis AKA Mesa Verde iceplant. (well it is supposed to be a perenial, we will see if it comes back next year or not.)

For today we have some shots of a variety of purple flowers. these are varieties of Clematis







No idea what these are.

POTD Flowers- Orange

My cousin Mentiioned needing some pictures of orange flowers for their downstaris family room So I took a few today to see it is it anything she would be interested in. Thyey painted the room Brown with an orange colored accent wall.
Now I just need to get her to take a look at them.

POTD Flowers - After their prime

So for my first flower post this week I decided to post some after their prime so to speak. The first three are from our Clematis vines now that some have lost their petals and the last one I am sure you all recognize. I think they look better larger so click to see a larger image.



I really lied the shadow in this one I took like 10 shots to finally get one in focus since it was so breezy.

Trip to NC #1

Here are a few of the pics I took last weekend while in NC for my cousin's graduation with his Master's from Wake Forest. Here are a few shots I got on campus the day before while he was giving us a tour of the gorgeous campus.
Spending time with my family makes me happy.

Some family shots

One of my coworker's had his father visiting from India so I volunteered to take some family photos while his dad was in town. This was a relaly fast phtoosession since it looked like it might rain at any minute and I had to get home and pack for my vacation the next day.








His little girl was such a good subject. I look forward to getting a chance to do more pictures of her in the future.
