Outdoor Wednesday


Thank you, Susan, for hosting Outdoor Wednesday! I'm relatively new at this, and what a great way to meet others with similar interests and to have the opportunity to view their blogs. I need to get busy and update my photos for future Outdoor Wednesdays!

I took the first couple of photos a couple of summers ago, flitting about trying to keep up with this butterfly!




I made this 'fairy chair' a few years ago, and planted some herbs along with some not so edible plants! This chair was part of the first 'dinette' set my parents owned, and they've been married for 60 years!





Last spring, I tried my hand at growing bulbs inside. I love this daffodil!! It's called a Peruvian Daffodil, and I put it in the ground after it bloomed. I'm hoping it will bloom again this spring!

Beautiful outdoor shots! I especially like the fairy chair and peruvian daffodil. I bought several of those bulbs last spring at a disc store and planted them...all I got was foilage.

I tried about ten or more times to post to you this morning, and it wouldn't let me! Now I can do it! Yea!

Love your pictures so much, and that last flower is truly amazing! So nice to meet you, and I look forward to more Outdoor Wednesdays with you.

XO,

Hi, Sheila!

I'm glad you didn't give up! Susan alerted me to the problem, so I changed a few settings.

Thank you all for your kind comments! I'm looking forward to more Outdoor Wednesdays and all the amazing photos!

I like all of your photos. The Peruvian Daffodil is really unique. I do hope it blooms again for you this spring.

Wow the butterfly photos are outstanding. I love butterflies but have never tried photographing one. We had quite a few humming birds (not right now of course. It's a little too cold for them I guess). I might try taking a picture but I think they would be harder to keep up with than butterflies. We have little geckos in the summertime. I know I could snap a picture of one of those. I'm going to try that this summer.

Oh, I love your blog. I love butterflies, too. I took the butterfly photo in my header. Check it out when you get a chance. I love your little chair. I bet it makes you smile to be able to use it in your garden.
Have a beautiful day!! Terrie
