Friday Finds: and Happy Summer Solstice

June 20, 2014 by Barb 18 Comments

It’s been another busy week and I’m always astounded to realize that it’s time for Friday Finds. I found many things this week; this leaf, for example.

We had a lovely, soft, steady rain and there were droplets everywhere.

Friday Finds

The Alberta Rose is blooming. There are not very many this year and I’ve noticed that a lot of the shrubs have died off …

I love hanging flower pots …

    Is it possible that I can see your reflection in the largest bubble? I love your garden shots and they make me want to grab my camera and go out to photograph. You really catch the summer feel in your photos.

    So many beautiful images! I love the raindrops and texture in your first image, the detail in the Alberta Rose and the light in the alliums.

    Love all of these beauties but thank you for the Bishop’s Hat one especially. I used to have one in the garden at my previous house and I had forgotten how much I loved it. Nice to recollect.

    Some garden envy here – those with the sunrays are extra special. Beautiful florals.
