One thing we have had our share of lately is rain. And more rain! And more....

It sure is good for catching water drops though! 

This water drop reflects our back fence and the row of trees along the fence.

 

I don't know what these grass stalks are, but they really hold the water! Click on the photo and see the reflections in the drops! 

 

The name of this blog will tell you I am loving water drops! My never ending challenge is to get a perfect reflection, and I haven't managed that yet! 

 

Macro Monday

Tiny macrocosms of water. The world reflecting in a tiny drop!

 

One of the things I am trying to make myself do is to change my header photo. Should be simple! Sounds simple. Some would say I don't like change! But 2013 is definitely my year of change.

Our house is sold and move out day is three weeks away. We are living amongst boxes as we go about the chore of packing and sorting, keeping and giving away. We are simplifying and downsizing and lessening the load. It feels good, the further we go. 

The idea of change on such a big scale is daunting, and here I am resisting the simple act of changing my blog header picture! Go figure!

This year my New Year's resolution is "Reconnect"

I feel like these drops at times. Clinging on to a fine wire, any movement will shake me loose and make me fall. The wind can buffet my position and the heat can dry me up.  Any change can come along and send me for a loop. 

Its a risk to take a chance, make a change. I'm trying to embrace it, hell, I am embracing it!!

2013 is my year!

Gerber Daisies

My daughter was here visiting for a week and on her last evening here brought me a bucket of Gerber daisies home from her best friend Mandy's place. Mandy's family grows Gerbers in a huge greenhouse and supply the flowers to stores all over the mainland.

I didn't even have enough vases for all of them, so mason jars etc work fine to hold this bounty!

I couldn't even begin to pick my favorite colour of Gerbers. I love them all. How can you not be happy with a house full of Gerbers!

I even like the back end of them, although my hubby doesn't quite get that!

 

Sunshine in a flower!

I love the back of flowers as well. I think we don't always look at the whole picture. Turn something over and you have a whole new perspective!

A little artwork!

Hope you enjoyed my flowers. I simply had to share them with you all!



Petunias in passing

Linking with http://www.simpleasthatblog.com/
I love the changing of the seasons from the hot summer days into the cooler fall like days of this time of the year. The leaves start turning colours and falling, the air is crisp and fresh and the nights are cool. It is perfect walking weather!

In the beginning of Summer when I bought my hanging baskets, this basket containing petunias that were almost black in colour really caught my eye.

Now at the end of Summer where the days are noticeably shorter and the nights are getting colder, it is just about impossible to keep these alive. I have watered and fertilized as much life as I think these baskets have left and they are almost gone. It is those cold nights where the temps dip down to five degrees I think that spell the beginning of their ends.

I have enjoyed them though, as have others who see them and remark about their unique colour.
