Colors really match the mood of a rainy day.

Colors really match the mood of a rainy day.

Not long ago I used to hate the gloomy colors of a cloudy day, until I realized that atmosphere was unmatchable. Now I embrace that light!

Crown of thorns and hibiscus?

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Crown of thorns

I don't know it's name, but it is a well-armed plant, so very likely this is what it is called

hibiscus?

Yes. There were plenty of lovely open flowers, always a favourite with the camera, but I thought to get something different for a change

I have not been very complimentary about the Sigma Zoom, but I am finding that it can be very good indeed. Both the insect pics are tight crops.

My home is part of a subdivision that was built on farmland over 25 years ago. My backyard is a wooded buffer between 'our' subdivision and the one to my east. I've chosen not to clear the brush, bramble and deadwood (as have too many others) as it gives the critters to hang out. At the base of one of my oak trees is a cluster of daffodils that were planted well before I arrived. It has bloomed faithfully every year and brings a welcome burst of color to an otherwise monotone wood-scape. I really do need to plant more bulbs to keep these guys company - such a huge return of long-term joy for only a little effort.
