#TodayInTheBackyard

1) The #Bamboo does Fall by quietly turning gold
2) Overnight the #Abelia turned on its Fall reds and golds
3) The #Blueberries are the stars in my backyard!
4) The #Hydrangeas are still stunning

I’m still getting used to an #azalea as a late summer #flower, but #EncoreAzaleas has designed #azaleas that bloom in Spring&Fall so that #TodayInTheBackyard I have #EncoreAzaleaAutumnMoonlight plus a couple normal late summer blossoms: #DouglasAsters & #Roses

#52Frames, Wk32: #Macro + the ExtraChallenge: #FocusStacking
I often focus stack with flowers but I used flowers last week. I considered birds, but close up work+focus stacking+wild birds seemed impossible-then I remembered the 3 birds at the fountain!

I finally figured out how to setup a shot InTheStyleOf Schindler'sList–when StevenSpielberg emphasized the girl with color in an otherwise black&white frame.

#52Frames, Week27 #FrameWithinAFrame

What do you think? Peach or Orange Sherbet?

Don't know the name of this rose but it makes me think of #peachsherbet or maybe #orangesherbet

#RoseGarden
It’s a sad day when 47 tears up the WhiteHouseRoseGarden & it hardly makes news & is probably the least bad thing he’s done in his first 5 of 48 mos.
Only rose that has a nametag is the #redandwhite #RoseFourthOfJuly
