Photo-a-Day Week 15

And just like that (snap) it is Sunday again! Let's take a look at the images from last week's photo-a-day challenge.

Day 97- 

My Amaryllis bloom had faded and drooped down. It was time to cut it off and clean up any other dead leaves. As I removed it, I thought it was kind of interesting, time to take a picture!

Day 98- 

Once again we had some rain. Many of the blooms on my Fringe Tree, Chionanthus retusus fell on the driveway. Almost looked like it snowed! A break in the rain means it is time to play.

Day 99-

A few birthdays ago my sister in law gave me these small wooden mannequins and an air plant for each to hold. These mannequins have hats and scarves to wear for change of season. They also have eye stickers, making them look even sillier.

Day 100- 

I should have taken the feeder down once the top piece broke off but I thought the birds could get the remaining seeds until I could put up another feeder. This silly squirrel got caught inside the cage trying to get to the feeder. It took a few minutes for it to get free. I changed out the feeder as soon as he was gone.

Day 101-

I have a few Tulip Poplars, Liriodendron tulipifera, in my backyard. They are quite tall, and I don't often know it is blooming until I see some of the flowers on the ground.

Day 102-

Up near the street I have a native Smokebush, Cotinus obovatus, and it is really coming into its own. It has taken a few years to get some growth on it. The fall color is wonderful, salmons and peach and golds- really a nice display! The tiny blooms are worth revisiting as they do get that 'smoke' appearance as the blooms open.

Day 103-

Afternoons and mornings the sun makes shadows across the driveway. Our house is situated on the North/South axis, front facing South. Fall and Spring with the low angles of the sun make the shadows longer. Small windows of light caught Fiona as she waited for the disc to be thrown. I thought this photo worked well with the black and white filter.

Another week done, stay tuned for next week's photos.
