I'm working on making a series of cloud brushes from real clouds and I got this skyscape while I was shooting today. Unfortunately it drained my battery and I didn't have any power for The Investigators ballgame.

Lily
I still don't understand why this lily is blooming and the other isn't. It's taking a beating in the wind tonight though, we'll see how she looks in the morning. I was expecting the bright orange petals but am happier with this color.

First game of the season
SS 1/400, ISO 200, f5.6, 200 mm, Aperture Priority
First game of the season went off in it's usual manner. Lots of fun, even if it is a bit of a cluster and disjointed.

Trying to see if I can blog this from flickr. So, if you are reading this it worked and if not well then you probably aren't going to be aware that it didn't work.

Housekeeping details
Nothing against those who stopped doing 365 (look at February, March, and April for me believe me I understand) but I was spending a lot of time clicking and clicking back for blogs that weren't updated/dead links. So, tonight I went and took out a bunch of links.
If you are 365'ing (or even posting fairly regularly) and want your link listed let me know. I'm going to try to go through and leave more comments now that I have time and not a lot of old blogs to sift through.
If you are offended I took you off the list, start posting again then let me know and I'll add you back on.
For those of you who haven't missed a day at all, I'm completely amazed. Good job!
As always, feel free to leave any comments. CC more than welcome on any image I post.

Summertime
Yes, I'm playing with my watermark again. I'm also changing my business name. Expect some changes over the summer while I decide what I like. I wish I had someone to tell me what I like.
Same image, different plays. Let me know what you think.

Happy Friday garden update
Here's the deal. I'm loving my garden this year, I have people stopping to look and comment and ask questions. I live on pristine lawn drive and a lot of my yard still needs a lot of help so I never imagined that people would stop and look at *my* garden.
I feel like a new Mother with a newborn and can't believe the day to day difference. To keep my garden picture posting contained I'm going to do weekly garden updates on Fridays. With lots of SOOC, simply progress pictures.
With that said, here we go. Warning, picture overload.
Garden Guest
Peas
Baby broccoli head
Dill, the matted smushed stuff didn't do well during transplant but it's finally perking up.
Thyme
Sage
Rosemary
The Scientist's geranium. He's as bad to take into a nursery as my Mom is. "Mom, look at this tree, it would look so pretty in our yard" Never mind it's over a $100 and we don't have anywhere to put trees right now. He settled for a couple of geranium plants though.
My poppy plant, I am only getting one blossom at a time so I hope that next year I get more blossoms off of them.
Cabbage that I bought since I couldn't find any more broccoli to replace the 2 that didn't make it through transplant. I could only find pony packs so I have 4 cabbage plants in my flowerbed (yes, along with the tomatoes)
Nameless flower that I've been watching to see if it's a weed or not. This stuff is all over and so beautiful and I have no idea what it's called and haven't been able to find any in stores.
My broccoli is doing wonderful, I love the greenery on these plants. If you look back to last weeks pictures these have grown a bunch.
Cauliflower starting to head up nicely. I'm still not convinced it's not cabbage though.
Peppers, no I don't know what kind yet but I'd guess jalepeno if I had to.
The Scientists pumpkin plant from Mrs. D's class. When he brought it home only one of them has sprouted and luckily we haven't planted it yet, the 2 new sprouts look a lot healthier. I need to get out digging in the backyard though. *sigh*
Camomile perking up and not looking sleepy finally. It even has some new growth.
Onions
Spinach, just about ready for the first cutting.
Corn sprouts
Cucumbers.
The last of the seeds started to come up, the only thing not sprouted yet is the beans. Well, and the things I'm still working on planting.
Itty bitty lily plant that I planted a couple of years ago but it never came up. At least it didn't until I stuck a tomato plant nearby. What I don't understand is why this one has buds when the one below is big, full, healthy and budless. Are there male/female lily plants?
This lily was planted the same time.
Tomato blossom :) I've got a few baby tomatoes on the vine, now for them to grow and ripen.
Baby carrots. A few haven't come up so I've replanted bare spots, I'll thin if I need to. Unfortunately I couldn't remember which boxes had thumbelina carrots and which ones had rainbow.
Strawberries (ones in the SFG, not in the strawberry fountain)
