  1. Oh, Cheryl! I hope Irene is barely a fart in the wind when she reaches your area. Please be safe! And I'm sorry about your flowers but they should come back.

    Wonderful pics, as usual.

  7. Cheryl your blanket flower is pretty. I read your comment about the flower and I get excited about what you say. Hopefully next year it will thrive and give me more flowers.

  13. The hydrangea is awesome! Rain & wind can sometimes do a number on blossoms; but the composite flowers on hydrangeas hold up better than most. Hope hurricane Irene peters out before it gets to you, Cheryl.

  16. You've been having LOTS of fun in "the darkroom," haven't you? These are great. Hopefully, Irene will leave you a little something after she's finished.
