Flowers and Front Porch

I had a whole post written and then *poof* it disappeared. I don’t have time to re-write it but I still want to share my work on the front porch and flowers with you.

Front porch is still a mess but I’m making progress. (We need to power wash, husband cleaned the gutters, but it’s supposed to storm all weekend)

Before:

After:

My *new* hanging basket of blue lobelia. I took out the violas and gave them a new home so I could make myself a blue lobelia basket. Can’t find them in hanging baskets.

New home for the violas.

Did you know they’re perennials?

Still waiting on a few blooms from growing flowers.

However, I did get impatient and add a few snap dragons to the side of the porch flower garden. (I ended up putting the white lobelia in a pot)

I played outside in the dirt all day except when I took a break to work on the disappearing post. Now, it’s time to go cook dinner. Have you played in the dirt this week?

Cold Moon

No lie about that moon. I was cold while standing outside snapping these photos. Photos are a mix of captures from my bridge camera and the newer one. The bridge camera takes better close up photos of the moon while the 3500 captures the clouds around it better. Asking too much to get both in one shot. Well, at least asking too much of this amateur. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Just a few from the Nikon D3500:

The rest from my Nikon bridge camera with the special “moon” setting, first my “accidental” shot:

And finally, a couple close-ups of the cold moon:

If you hopped over from So Not Organized, thank you!

Saturday Sunrise

I shared one photo over on So Not Organized but I was in such of awe of the last Saturday Sunrise of 2020. Here are the other photos I took. A little squirrel enjoyed his view from our front yard maple tree as well. You can see his silhouette in a few of the photos.
