strolling through the neighborhood, May 28





Grass, in the late afternoon sun.





I know this is a geranium, which is what made me wonder about that other spiky-leaved mound of green I showed you last week........





This gardener took to heart the admonition to mix up color and texture and height. It looks nice, especially against the blue-gray house.





Amen.





I like the petunias with the blue and green. Also like the reflections........





Red and green, with red and green..........





More iris. An extravagance of petals. Embellished with fuzzy epaulettes.





Blue, with pickets.





I bet I've walked under this tree 100 times, and I never noticed its bark until this week.







Poppies. Wow.

dog boys must like strolls - they can stop and smell while you stop and photograph :)

Only it ususally works out that we don't want to pause at the same places..... :-) So we just have to be patient with each other.....
