Ruby Tuesday July 20 2010

Another great Ruby Tuesday!!!

A Star-gazer Lily, They are just so beautiful.

Rose of Sharron, These are a favourite of mine. They have a Christian Connotation attached to them.

Here is a light mauve variety of the Rose of Sharron

A Red Admiral Butter-fly visiting a Purple Cone Flower

And here it is again, same Butter-fly on the same plant.

A wonderful Lily, These are so beautiful with curled petals and they are at least 2 meters tall.I did not crouch down for this pic

No red at all here. I posted this because it is my favourite flower pic of the year so far

 And finally a beautiful baby Red Wolf Spider. These guys help to keep the harmful insects at bay, hence a good friend to the garden

  3. hi sonny...just a quick comment on how lovely these flowers and the butterfly is because at this campsite, the internet is very low!
    i tried to send you some pictures the other day but to no avail!
    oh sonny the bright yellow flowers you grew up with in your childhood when i was your babysitter are just aglow all over manitoba now!
    no sign of the purple flax fields yet but they will be here by the time we return, i am sure.
    i have some really nice albeit sad wheatland and rivers photos for you and will try to post them here after ruby tuesday celebrations are over sonny!
    love to you from bernie and terry and the little red car!

    oh! that last flower looks just like the beautiful sun rays that we are getting in brandon manitoba every day sonny.
    the campsite is called turtle crossing but so far not a turtle in sight...ha!

  7. The lovely pastels of the variety of flora is a visual treat! Summer is a time to admire the flowers. And that spider - keeping the insect vermin away from this beauty. Perhaps the most beautiful ruby today...
