.. differences

in what is seen .. each time walking the yard .. all photos taken with .. Canon PowerShot SX20 IS .. hadn't realized there was so much difference in .. this camera & the SX40 HS .. but, top Left - Red Bottlebrush bloom .. top Right - what we are calling the "CornField" .. they are Yellow Walking Iris, though .. bottom Right - beats me ! Is on an Allamanda plant .. okay - must go find out - it is a seed pod .. will burst open .. release seeds .. and - we will have more plants! and, here I was blaming the birds for all the Allamandas we have .. bottom Left - a solo flower left .. Yellow Walking Iris .. looked out the window, but when I got out to take some shots .. all the others had been blown away by the wind .. next time, the SX40 will be used .. the flowers are small, buttery yellow .. with dark markings .. remind me of African Iris, sort of .. edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

Color !

Weeping Bottlebrush tree .. Callistemon viminalis Family: Myrtaceae (myrtle Family) .. looked up the description of this gorgeous specimen ... " an explosion of color in Spring.." .. blooms attract hummingbirds .. saw none today, but might be early for their arrival .. will definitely be watching .. this tree was added to the yard during the Yard Make-over .. has bloomed every year, but not as abundantly as this year cropped/framed/signed in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved
