Coneflowers, Untouched

July 11th 021 Upon awakening this morning, I promised myself not to blog until I’d caught up on reading other blogs.  But, later in the morning, I saw the coneflowers.  Their long-lasting blooms are just beginning to form.

July 11th 017 No touch-ups were done on these photos.  They could probably use some, but I like them the way are.  I’m finally learning to step back further and then zoom in to get better fake close-up shots with my Canon PowerShot SX100.

July 11th 029 After my father-in-law passed away, we inherited his ornamental windmill.  This poor coneflower is rather caught up in it…..

ooo-ooo! I finally have coneflowers this year and they are almost ready to bloom. You have a nice variety of colors. I have stuffed so many in the ground without success that now when they finally are promising a bloom or two--I have no idea what color they will be. Have a good one. And a good Sunday too.

I don't think my coneflowers are blooming yet. I suppose I should walk out back and see. I loved the photos, especially the last one,.

Your photos are wonderful! My coneflowers are in various stages right now. Some are spent and some just beginning to bloom. I love them and they just keep spreading over my garden.

I love, love, love coneflowers! I used to have some in Ohio. I hope I get some planted next year here in KS.

You're like me - I'm always telling myself the same thing. No more blog posts until I put in some visitation time! :) And then I break my own rule. Again.

The funny thing is - once I start visiting, someone would have to DRAG me away from my computer. I really do love reading about everyone else's lives. Does that mean I'm a snoop??
