This weeks theme is Two

I took this photo last year when I noticed that there were lots of bumble bees visiting some sedum flowers that had just started to bloom.

I swear the plant must have had twenty bumble bees visiting at once. It was like a bumble bee flea market or something.

I’m actually allergic to bees, but I’m not really afraid of bumble bees.

They are very gentle creatures and are very unlikely to bother you unless you lean on one or sit one one. Wasps and hornets on the other hand … don’t make them mad!

This weeks theme is Rows

Heuchera Purple palace leaves

This weeks photo hunter theme is Rows. I don’t really tend to take photos of things in rows so this was a hard one for me to try to complete.

I chose this Heuchera leaf since the veins in the leaves are so well defined. They are in rows, angled rows, but rows none the less.

The Heuchera plant has very pretty leaves. It flowers, and while they are nice when they are around it’s the leaves that are the main attraction. If you have a shady area of your garden that you want to brighten up with some color try a heuchera with it’s colourful leaves.

Strange blooms

This weeks theme is Funky

Honeysuckle Gold Flame

This is my new honeysuckle vine. It’s just about to bloom. I thought the flower buds looked pretty funky so I snapped a pic the other day. Don’t you think it’s a little strange looking?

Bee Balm Monardo aquarius

I also grow Bee Balm. I love the way this plant grows. It’s flowers grow on long stalks and new flowers grow on top of one another. Sometimes a stalk will have three or four flowers in a row.

This flower is fading, but to me it looks pretty funky while in it’s last stages.

The bees and butterflies think so too!

How Canadian is that? A Moose! A Metal moose at that!

If you’ve been visiting my husband and I’s sites today you’ll notice that the photos are all from the same place. We went to an art show two weeks ago and we both loved the metal artwork the best.

Oh there was pottery, paintings, photographs (my nephew had a photo exhibit there!), sculptures, woodwork and many other types of art work but it was the metal artwork that fascinated us.

I think it was the moose that I saw first. Probably since it was the largest piece that the artist had at the show. It’s made out of a recovered oil tank.

I have a tiny front yard and this moose would take up the whole lawn area!

BTW sorry I’m late with my Photo Hunt photo!

This weeks theme is shadows

I took this photo last weekend at the art show. I’m not sure if that’s mine or my husbands shadow on the metal lady, but a shadow it is!

This was another spectacular piece of metal artwork at the outdoor art exhibition. This piece was made from an old oil tank! I give it bonus points for recycling!

Sorry I’m behind on this post. We had guests drop in on us yesterday and they turned into weekend house guests!
