It's a win-win scenario!

Such fun with photoshop...
My chives, forget- me- nots, sedums, peonies and all the other HARDY perenniels are doing well, but the hanging baskets are still in the garage!!!!
This freezing thing needs to stop!!
Have a wonderful weekend, Joey

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
It's so green there. Not use to such intensity in the green hues living in the South. You really capture the "lushness" of the foliage.
Beautiful!

Thank you, Carol. I love May and May flowers! The last is a Japanese Painted Fern that, being a fern fanatic, love and have tons of.
As you can see, Eileeen, I love azaleas that seem very well suited and happy in my garden. May has been stunning!
How sweet, Katarina, as you have always been an inspiration for me. Happy weekend gardening :)
Agree, Kathy. We are at the lake and put my tender annuals in the garage before we left. Enough is enough! Luckily, the weather is lovely today unlike last Saturday when it snowed ... sideways.
Thank you, imac ... the May garden is marvelous!
Thank you, dear Amy. Very easy and fun ... begin with Picasa and you will be hooked!
Thank you, dear Skip! Spring is truly lush here in Michigan. We are at the lake, laden with trillium and wildflowers ... it's beautiful. Wish you were here!

How kind, Rick. And it's always a joy to hear from you!
Hello, dear Rose, and thank you. May is my favorite garden month, though impossible to keep up let alone photograph. Each day, from morning to night, is unique and why I so marvel.
Love my painted fern, Kim, a signature plant in my garden. Thank you for visiting ... always love hearing from you.
You are always so sweet, Kala. Thank you fun friend :)
Hello Diana, your post was most touching. Thank you for inquiring about my sister who, unfortunately after surviving horrific illness issues, meningitis and 2 bouts of endocarditis where she lost her vision, died this past summer, a heavy time for me. A brilliant woman (lawyer) Nancy spent 2 years (60s) with Peace Corps in Afghanistan and her career with Legal Services in Montana. Her journey is an incredible book.
I have to ask about your painted fern. I've had one for about six years. It has neither increased or decreased in size. Every year it is exactly the same. Does yours get larger?

Krista, you are not only very talented yourself but very kind. Thank you.
Steve told me about your site today. I hate to use such a redundant and overused phrase, but your photos are absolutely amazing. You are a brilliant photographer of still life. My mother was a still life painter,my dad loved photography, and my sister is a design photographer. Me? Well, let's just say I'm a "viewer" of photography and completely intrigued! Stunning work throughout!
Hi Pam! Honored that you stopped by and though we have never met, i feel as though I know you. Thank you for your kind comment and though I take these for myself, photos are for viewing ... if no one looked, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun. Hope it won't be long before we meet ... a garden walk and glass of wine would be fun :)
