May Flowers--

I've been busy working in the yard this past week--

So have the bees--

I've never had roses before but last year Publix had little pots of miniature roses--

So I bought a few--

I can't believe they made it through the winter but here they are blooming in their pots on my patio--

There's a white one--

And a yellow one--

 
 
And a red one---

I think they are so pretty and delicate--being so small--

Maybe my "green thumb" is coming back--

Flowers!

Seems like everyone is posting pictures of their gardens and flowers. I just got Scott Kelby's Digital Photography book from the library and thought I would try out his "flower technique". Keep in mind that I am still using a Kodak point and shoot---

My front yard is St. Augustine grass but the backyard is a wildflower meadow-
I'm trying to get a good picture of it to show you but for now--

These are the wildflowers that grow in my backyard--

I tried for some close-ups--

These are referred to as Beach Sunflowers--

These are Gaillardia--also known as Blanket flower--

So what do you think?

Not too bad for a simple little point & shoot--
