... go out into the rain soaked garden and see what you can find to take pictures of. This poor earthworm was trying to get out of the mud and find a drier spot.
A very pretty leaf still with raindrops on it.
A Canna with two lovely contrasting colors.
A Sparrow looking to see if there was any dry seed still available.
Gorgeous Hibiscus in yellow....
.... and red.
The flowers of a tree.
A pretty moth clinging to a wall.
And an Inch Worn doing stretches......
....and bends. So you see, even on the dullest day, there is always something to take pictures of. :)

Great Pics, love the inch worm. What I need to know is how do you take pictures in the garden when there is a howling wind and everything is dancing around? Diane
ReplyDeleteYep as long as it's a BUG LoL !! even with a tsunami it would not stop you Those Canna's are stunning Joan :)
ReplyDeleteNow that a tough one Diane!! :) Do like me and wait until the storm has passed. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I have my reputation to think of Philip and have to live up to the name you gave me. :)
ReplyDeleteJoan: Love the inch worm best, they are acrobats.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is a wonderland. Sure would like to see some colorful flowers here soon.
ReplyDeleteSO much to see in your garden Joan. I need to chase the builders away from my property (only another wek left) and then start setting my insect snares up - wondering which flowers are insect and spider magnets.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photo's in that batch. Thanks for the comment on my blog.
You're absolutely right. There is nothing dull about these pictures at all.
ReplyDeleteI do not recall ever seeing a live inchworm in my life. Every time I happen to find something, I first try to take a photograph, and then bring the kids out so they can see it, too. Sometimes they tolerate their enthusiastic dad, but sometimes they are genuinely interested, as well. I'm glad they make the effort. :-)
Looks like a very successful, UNdull day to me! Great shots Joan!
ReplyDeleteYeh - great stretch and tone exercise routine for the Inch Worm!
ReplyDeleteLovely rainy day photos. Since taking up photography in earnest I have developed a keen interest in bugs.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute Tom and I love watching them inch along, they look so funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI cant believe that there is snow falling in places Gaely. IT IS ALMOST JUNE!! My goodness!! I hpe for your sake it warms up soon and get to be summer again.
ReplyDeleteIts small but a pretty good one Zane. One of the bushes which attracts a lot is the Lantana but it is such a pest!! The birds eat the seeds and the bushed pop up all over the show. Look for plants which have lots of little flowers as that really attracts them. There are so many lovely smelling ones like the honeysuckle and Jasmine. Vygies also attract a lot of bees but most of all I find insects are attracted to yellow flowers although this might be my imagination, especially daisies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cravere. They are not too easy to find and I am pleased to hear that the kids are enjoying them too.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! You are right Krista, very UNdull!! Love the word!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ida. Ek is so bly jy het weer kom kuier!! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog Denise. Insects are such interesting creatures. I have become very involved in taking pictures of them. :)
ReplyDeleteBEautiful selection of photos! That moth looked like someone told him to put his hands up - lol!
