I had to use my cell hone to get them all in teh shot ..taken through my kitchen window on an early snow day. I know there are more deer in our "neighbourhood", but I have no idea how many. There were lots of fawns this year.

My thoughts run away from me when I think about this small stretch of land that provides this view.... So many things have happened here.

How God Establishes Man’s Outcome and the Standard by Which He Establishes Man’s Outcome

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
William Shakespeare
Collecting the fruits from the Peanut Butter tree allowed me to create my own galaxy of stars. To those of us living in the United States of America, Happy Fourth of July as we celebrate our 249th year as a country. Let us also remember these words spoken by Carl Sagan....
"If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along."
This is a detail of the new football stadium of Bordeaux (Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux) also know as Matmut Atlantique, opened in May 2015. Designed by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, it's the home of FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

You've already put on my hat. But I don't want to help you with the scissors because that thing is too dangerous for my little paws. I only want to help with hanging nice things in the tree.
Please may I?
Of course sweet Beethoven, how can I resist you?

A blustery autumnal Kings How looking down to Castle Crag and the Borrowdale Valley.
The light was fleeting with clouds blowing through quickly on a strong wind. I didn't get many autumnal shots this year in the Lakes, with being away and the season shot by to be replaced by bare trees and icy conditions.
This was taken after an early morning meet up on the shores of Derwentwater with Mark Newman. We later made our way up here in the hope of some light on this wonderful landscape, but we didn't get much of that in the end.
This was a brief interlude with the rays of light bringing a bit of life to this view. Mark was taking shots the other way, with the great view down over Derwentwater to Keswick and Skiddaw. Sadly we didn't see the top of Skiddaw all day!
Because saguaros grow so slowly, it might take 50 to 75 years for them to grow their first arms. Arms are important to them because they store extra water. After 100 years, they usually have several arms. After 200 years they have many arms. Amazing the age of these beautiful plants. This large one is probably over 200 years old.
Arms are important to saguaros because they store extra water and increase the plant's reproductive capacity. The number of arms a saguaro grows depends on how much water it receives.
Note the bird nests in the large cactus on the left.

Macro Mondays theme : My Closest
One can say that I am small, very small! I’m just a little Teddy Bear after all! But how can you measure the size of my love?
I read somewhere that the true measure of love is love without measure. I guess that it’s an answer I can live with. How about you?
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
Loved this area of the Lake District. It's a great path around a very pretty lake. Decided to make this shot a panorama as the cropped worked better for me.
Two pelicans just minding their own business floating on the water, in come two dolphins and just keep swimming underneath the pelicans, the pelicans move by flying to another part of the water and you have got it the dolphins follow, this went on for quite a while.
With Coniston Fells looming amidst low cloud in the background, the English Lake District honeypot of Tarn Hows is unusually deserted due to the inclement weather. A small islet in the lake is probably a welcome retreat for wildlife on a busy day.
It is, of course, watching the oak leaves which were moving in the wind.

I had a quick shower, splashed on some cologne, threw on my best shirt and headed out with my camera and a skip in my step. Next thing I knew this little Dark-Eyed Junko started flirting with me…
Yes...Again!!
Happy Weekend and Labor Day too all the peoples in the States.
Go out enjoy and have fun..
