| Our peaches! Heavy, oh so heavy, the young branches bending like a fishing pole burdened. |
 |
The leaves took a beating from Japanese beetles but the fruit.... can you just smell the sweetness?
The mouth watering, aromatic juiciness? |
 |
| Yum.... |
 |
| The blooms and textures of late summer. Bumbles everywhere! |
 |
| Meadow gazing. |
 |
| Bouquets from zinnias and wildflowers on the farm. |
 |
| There's nothing like farm fresh peaches! |
 |
| Mr. Toad....hopped his way right into the pole barn. |
 |
Watch out little bee! Someone has her eye on you!
(Thankful for the preying mantis - especially when they attack the beetles). |
 |
| Butterflies everywhere! |
 |
| Sun rays among the wildflowers in late afternoon. |
 |
| Decaying elm stump with fungal beauty |
 |
| Prickly nectar |
