Sunshine in the morning! Sunshine all day! That's what makes these beauties glow; it is D's sister Barb who makes these beauties grow.
A stroll through parts of her garden warmed my heart this morning.
This is an Iceland poppy - a cup of morning cheer:
And glad-faced peonies, so bright it hurts the eyes:
It is always hard for me to believe orchids grown outside! This refraction was clear, but
the orchid too close to define it as such:
These drops do not come from dew in this southern clime, but from the early-morning sprinkler system.
These droplettes are skewered by miniscule fuzz on a poppy stem:
A frosty-white Iceland poppy:
And another poppy with cast-aside bud hood:
I call this "dew-dew" because one droplette is resting atop another water drop:
Agapanthas are periwinkle blue! Here, a water drop has a refraction, but it is of a petal so slender that it appears the drop is outlined in blue:
Trio of crinkly Iceland poppies looks almost to be singing into the morning:
The center of an Iceland poppy in all its intricasies:

As usual, exquisite! I particularly love the periwinkle blue, the peonies, and the droplets, especially "dew-dew." Please give Aunt Barb a big hug and squeeze from me. I am envious of the two of you enjoying such sunny bliss and color together; I wish I could join you!
What a glorious place to enjoy the sunshine! I envy you the sun, the warmth, and all those blooms, unmolested by the deer and elk (chased 2 big elk out of the yard yesterday afternoon...) I really like the shot of the 3 poppies; such a cherry little group!
