Wild Roses & Daisies

7/6/2024

Okay, more flower pictures!  It seems like there's never an end to the different angles you can get nice pictures of flowers from, especially wildflowers.
  These first seven are all from June 29th.

Also a spiderweb I saw about five feet away from the buttercup. It looked kind of neat with the sun shining on it.

Buttercup I found in the bushes. I didn't even know we had buttercups here.

Then from Canada Day!  These are the cookies I made for a picnic we went to.  And then that evening when we got home, Dad was going to take the quad out to check crops.  I asked if I could come, so we drove around looking at the various crops.  The last crop we stopped at were the potatoes, and they looked pretty big.  Dad and I both got off the quad and started carefully digging at the hills around some of the bigger plants, and we came up with a handful of perfectly-sized baby potatoes, which means that we're going to be digging potatoes soon!

One picture from July 4th.  I love taking wild rose/daisy pictures with the other flower in the background.

And the last three are from yesterday, July 5th.  The first one was sometime in the afternoon.  I looked out the window and happened to see both tractors out in the field.  My brother was flail mowing with one tractor, and my dad was power harrowing with the other tractor.  But when I saw them at first, they were both just parked there.  I liked how the two tractors looked with the crops and trees surrounding them.

And finally, last night.  There was a fairly large rain cloud rolling in last night (which ended up missing us, by the way), so when I went into the house for the night, the entire western sky was one dark cloud.
  But then, half an hour or maybe an hour later, I walked past the window on my way to bed, and the entire sky was just a beautiful shade of orange and pink.  I got my camera and quietly stepped out onto the deck pretty fast.

Your pictures are beautiful! The wild roses really do look pretty alongside the daisies and I love the yellow buttercup. Your cookies are a neat idea. The pink clouds are so pretty! We had a lovely sunset last night as well. Thanks for posting!

Oh wow! The sunset is outstanding.
Always love seeing those beautiful daisies they are such a reminder of how aw-inspiring our Mighty Maker is. The pink rose in your hand is drop dead gorgeous.
Cookies are very interesting. Cool that you found all those provincial flags.
I’d sure love to have a spring soup with new potatoes in it.
