But do upload pictures and check out the list at the bottom of the page of garden pics that other folks have uploaded.
Butterfly on Hibiscus
I snapped this late in the summer and just happened to catch the butterfly as it landed and folded its wings back. I was actually taking the picture of the flower when the insect just happened to land. Who could resist? But this turned out to be one of my favorite garden photographs.
Peonies in the soft morning light
I was on a garden tour and wandering around in the early morning liight with a light mist still hanging on; I rather like the result.
Hakonechloa
