It’s been raining since the end of April in Central Texas. A weird happening. It’s so humid and WET outside. The plants are loving it though.
Life is good on the ranch.
Thriving.

September morn’.
As I walked into the kitchen this morning for my second cup of coffee, this glowing orange zinnia caught my eye, backlit by the rising sun.
Good morning!
Practice makes perfect.
I am still working on improving my manual focus skill with my Olympus camera. In this picture, I was trying to focus on the butterfly, but turns out I got an absolutely crisp image of the opening zinnia that is just above and to the right of where I was trying to focus. I’ll keep trying…
Zinnie #1.
First of 2016 from the garden!
Hot pink zinnie.
Yep. Another zinnia – hot pink. The zinnia patch still has some legs. Have great week!
Made it!
Yay Friday! Made it through another week. Got a very early start.
Monte worked in the shop all day. After work we picked up Julie and went out for Indian.
I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I hope yours is, as well.
My cousin and Aunt will be visiting tomorrow morning. After that we’ll be headed to the lake.
Late tomorrow night, Saturday, August 11, and early morning Sunday, August 12, the Perseids Meteor shower hits its peak. In Austin the moon won’t rise until about 3AM, so I’m hoping we’ll have a great view and get to see some good burners. There’s supposed to be 30-50 meteors an hour. We’ll be watching from our boat, anchored up in a dark cove on the lake. 🙂 If you want to take a peek as well, here’s a link with more info on where and when to look.
The shot above is of yet another zinnia in the garden. Have a great weekend!
Orange you glad to see another zinnie pic?
The rains have been sucked up by very thirsty trees, flowers and lawn. This is a shot of one of the zinnias in the garden — a pretty fiery orange one.
July 4th’s Eve raftup.
I’m off of work for the rest of the week (YAY!). We headed to the lake today for a raftup with friends in Arky south. We’ve got the coolers packed, and the kayak on the trailer, and we’re off!
This is a shot of one of the zinnias out back. They’re so pretty!
First zinnie of the year.
We headed to the lake today to spend the night. Before going we spent time in the yard watering, trimming and tidying. This is one of 2 zinnias that Monte cut to bring in the house. These were the first ones to bloom. Many more to come.

First zinnia shot of 2011.

Yes. That’s right. Another shot of a zinnia.
Could be the last one of the year.
But I’m not making any promises. 😉

I do enjoy taking photos of the flowers in the garden. But at the risk of posting yet-another-zinnia photo, I decided to play with the color on this shot that I took during my walk out back today.

Another week flown by. Got a lot accomplished, but lots more to do.
I had a bit of an inspiration-less day today. Meetings start at 6:30 every day, and run through the early evening. It’s refreshing when I can finally log off for the day.
Walking around outside seems to take bit of the fogginess out of my head. I know I’ve been posting lots of flower pics, but I enjoy sharing them. Here is another zinnia.
I really like this Canon PowerShot D10. I’ve found it takes great close up shots. But, not so great wide shots. Or, it could be me. I think it’s time I dig out the manual. Maybe I’ll flip through that this weekend.
Tonight we are enjoying a quiet Friday night at home. We’ve got the original “Flipper” movie queued up on the DVR. Yes, that’s right — the 1960’s movie about the dolphin.
Oh, by the way… just 6 months from today until Christmas (!)

The butterflies have been fluttering around quite a bit lately. As I was walking out back this evening I was able to snap a few pics of this butterly on one of the zinnias.
