Garden flowers

What a difference the sun makes!  A few days of heat and sunshine and the flowers just jump out at us! I cannot stop taking photos - even tho' I have taken the very similar photo last year the flowers are just so incredible that I have to take a photo! And share them!  Here's some of the beauty that abounds in our yard.

Pink, orange, green and a light brown with yellow - pulsating with life.

Rich and creamy - that is how I always feel about the water lily.

The thistles are really blue and incredibly vibrant.

A leaf - I was sitting on the front porch on the step and saw this. Amazing what sitting quietly can show you.
