Favorite Photos....2012 Edition...

I see a lot of my favorite bloggers are reviewing some of their favorite photos from

2012.

Les, at A Tidewater Gardener, started this meme last year.

I have to say....it's hard picking favorites.  I took a LOT of photos last year.

A good many didn't get published.  

So...I picked a dozen of my favorite ones that were published.

I liked three of these enough to put them in the new header.

Water over the low water crossing @ Cypress Creek, close to our house.

Wine corks, used as mulch.

The birdbath in the redone Island Bed.

We did some travel this year.  Some I've posted about, some I haven't, yet.

Joshua Tree National Park was one of my favorites.

I have a lot of photos of the ever present deer.  This was one of my favorites.

We have this Axis Deer doe in the neighborhood.

Mr P saw a buck crossing the road once.  But, that was about five miles away.  

They're pretty. But, research tells me they eat EVERYTHING!  Even more than our resident deer.

I picked out a couple favorite Bloomday photos

 Mexican Flame Vine

Hyacinth Bean.

And, birds.

Chickadee

A Cardinal, playing in the sprinkler.

We finally found the right tomatoes.  I was pleased with the good harvests I got....

even if it's a battle to get them.

And, last, but not least...this beautiful sky.

We get some wonderful morning light, around here.

So, there you have a few of my favorites.  Hope you enjoyed the walk down memory land.

Do you have favorites?

Cold, But Sunny....

It was 26 degrees this morning, when I got up.

Frost is on the fairway.  It looks pretty, sparkling in the sun.

It's warming up pretty quickly.  Die hard golfers are already out there.

If it was not so muddy out there, it would be a great day to work in the garden.  

I have a good crop of weeds growing in the veggie garden.

It'll have to wait.  But, when I get out there, I'll have new 'toys' to play with.

Can you tell my family knows that I like to garden?

And then, come in and put my feet up in warm slippers...

Our son says that liquid seaweed and fertilizer may be the strangest things I've ever asked for.

He forgets about the time I asked for manure.

Gardeners will understand these things.

Hope you got what you wanted.

Happy Gardening...
