More to come as the season develops...Bill Mitchell

I photographed several flowers this morning, but these two deserve a blog of their own. This immature start of the Lady In Red is hosting a red lady spider and some small praying mantis.

I bought twenty mantis cocoons in early spring and now I have to purchase some aphids to feed all of the baby mantis. Can you find them?

Your garden nut, Bill Mitchell

Some times, late at night, when I can't sleep, I entertain my self ... with photo fun. Redzey communicated about her photo editing art. So I thought I would play with my old editing software. The following renditions are for your visual entertainment.

This is the normal picture.

Played with.

Good night everyone. Bill Mitchell

Mitzilou, is this the mystery plant?

Have a great day... Bill Mitchell

We are in the middle of our monsoon season. We don't usually have one, but this year has a different kind of season. There is rain in the forecast every day to some degree until the 14th of May and maybe beyond. It didn't stop the Mock Orange bush from taking stage for it's time to shine.

Around
5 or 6 pm, the smell will hypnotize. Here is a close up.  

Go ahead, take a sniff

You all have a great day. Bill Mitchell.
