August 16th - Pepper plant

Some sort of pepper plant. If you know what kind it is, please tell me. :)

September 6th - Leaves

Here's today's shot, some leaves of a plant at a friend's house. I just liked the way the light was hitting it from the window behind me, although I wish my camera could have done a better job:

Here are a few bonus shots from the fair yesterday:
This one shows the "grown up" ferris wheel at the other end of the fair (circled in red), as taken from the "little kid" ferris wheel, which is the one we rode:

This one shows the golf course that is behind the fairgrounds, and I'm showing this one since there was a comment that our area was so "green" and I wanted to show just how green! I love my peninsula!


This one shows the ferris wheel we rode, from ground level:


And, last but not least, this one is my daughters entry that won first place and got us a VIP parking pass, 4 tickets to the fair, and 12 ride tickets. Plus she won a ribbon, too. :) I removed her name from the label and put in "first place!" Oh, I should specify that she didn't draw the flower, only colored it.

January 27th - Bottle brush

This is a bottle brush plant. I used to live in a house when I was 7 that had a front yard lined with these. Bees love these bushes, and that's when I learned how to hold perfectly still when a bee lands on you. I've still never been stung (knock on wood). :) I love these flowers, they're so pretty. If you pull out a bit of the red "petals" sometimes you can get some nectar. Yum. ;)

January 8th - Jade Plant

Here's a Jade plant from my yard, in bloom. I'm not overly fond of Jade plants, they grow too big, and spread too much, imo. However, I do love the delicate little flowers they get at this time of year. :)

July 1st - Zucchini

Welcome to my photo blog! :)

Look! I'm growing actual food! :)
This is my zucchini. I also have a yellow bell pepper, which I may photograph tomorrow, and am also growing lettuce, cucumbers, two other kinds of squash, and three kinds of beans. There are many other veggies I've planted, but they haven't sprouted yet, so I can't say I'm growing them, yet! ;)
All of these are in containers, as I don't have room in the ground for them, but they don't seem to be minding. Maybe I'll photograph this zucchini again when I prepare it for eating! Yummy!
