Some of My Favorites

This post is filled with variety.These are pictures ,which for various reasons,I like.

I like red Geraniums.They are bright,and so cheerful.Some day I hope I get to photograph a Hummingbird at a flower like this.

Sitting on my deck the other day,I noticed the heavy crop of cones on the trees.The squirrels and some of the birds should be well fed this winter.

I was at a friends house the other day and noticed their sunflowers.They were well over 6ft.tall and still not opened.My only chance for a picture was to look at the unopened bud from below.

The Goldenrod is a fall flower,so when I see it in bloom,I know that summer is winding down.I do like this flower and I also look forward to the cooler days of fall.

One of the bonuses of living in a rural area,is that I don't have to drive far to see country beauty.

I was hoping for a spectacular sunset this evening,but that didn't happen. Things may not turn out the way i had hoped,but I still found beauty.I like this picture,hope you do too.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.
