Beautiful Blooms

I just have a whole bunch of close-ups of flowers that we planted that are blooming right now.  All of these pictures were taken between July 29th and August 9th, so enjoy!

*Notice the scattered petals from other forget-me-nots on the ground around the plant

Making pickles with Mom on August 9th:

On the morning of August 12th, I was getting a cup of coffee and I happened to look out the window and see a hummingbird sitting on the feeder - almost right in line with the rising sun.  I was trying to get a shot so that the bird was directly in front of the sun, hoping for a silhouette, but the windowframe was preventing me from moving my camera any farther over, so I just got a partial silhouette.  But I thought it still looked kind of neat!

And finally, storm clouds on the evening of the 13th, with a little puff that the sun is shining on.
