Buzzing Around the Gardens

It's Wednesday and summer is buzzing, as is the local flora and fauna. Just took a stroll a few blocks around my place. I think that makes me part of the local fauna. The insects these days are being quite cooperative and posing for me like pros. I guess the real challenge will be a hummingbird. What's that Tom Cruise ... my mission should I choose to accept ...

Knowing me ... I know me; what about you ... I can't help but think in haiku.

Yes, there were flowers to be had. These beauties had been freshly watered and were covered in droplets. I was after the iconic dewy floral shot. Alas the shade had other ideas. But hey, contrast is the mother of creativity.

I obviously spent copious amounts of time looking down but did lift my nose to the air for a moment and took in the sky.

I was a little lax this week and missed #treetuesday hosted by the wonder @old-guy-photos. Paul, in the words of the only King I recognize, I was absent, but you were always on my mind.
