Hi there,
I hope life has been treating you kindly.
Here we have skipped from a late spring to summer. Oh so lovely, especially the warm breezes that are loaded with, depending on where you are, the delicious scent of all sorts of blossoms and wild roses.

Somewhere along the river.
Bearded Irises. So grand!
On a neighbourhood fence, a Trumpet Vine. When it blooms, I hope to take a few pictures.

Even the blooms are eloquent.
I love hostas too. ( Me and my shadow.)
Wild Flox.
Wild Geranium
Wild Roses. They smell heavenly.
Once the petals begin to fall, I'll dry the them for potpourri.

Moving on to a few pictures from my container gardens. I don't remember sharing any of my container plantings before. Even though I said I wasn't going to plant many, I planted 27 containers this year. They give me joy! So I can't help myself.
My Fuchsia.
Cosmos. I love how they wave about in the breeze.
Ferns are a must.
On the grow. Pansies and Sweet Potato Vine.
You may remember this watercolour painting. I didn't like how the fern stock was leading the eye. Contemplating, but I think I will be satisfied with a few more twigs and a small piece of fern.

I am in full agreement with Henry James, Dixie. Your summer garden is blooming beautifully. The bearded irises are stunning and peonies are always gorgeous. Aren't peony blooms pretty. It is always a joy for me to spot a happy cosmos or two. I cannot wait until mine begin to pop up again. So much inspiration to be had with a stroll through your garden. I love that you have so many potted plants. They must be providing many smiles at the moment. As for your watercolour....how pretty it is. Enjoy your lazy summer afternoons and may you and your shadow capture many more gorgeous photos.
So many beautiful flowers in your photos. Flowers bring joy don't they. Your painting is beautiful.
You certainly have a colorful summer! I love the different colors and the little visitors, too! I really like your artwork, too.
I'm delighted to have you join 'My Corner of the World' this week!

I had the most wonderful time walking along with you, Dixie! The Wild Fox is so pretty and delicate looking. Your container garden is beautiful! You are just like me, can’t say no to plants :)
Lovely painting! It looks like the bird and the butterfly are conversing.
Thank you so much for linking up on Wandering Camera!

Beautiful flower shots - the summer is the most wonderful time! Your bearded irises are a wow! And yes, I agree with the quote of Henri James!
Ah summertime. It is, along with spring, a wonderous season.
My plants are still happily blooming; they do give me so much joy.
Thank you.
Best Wishes, Kim.
I agree. Flowers are so lovely. What pops out of a bulb or seed boarders on the miraculous, for sure.
Thank you.
Thank you, Betty. Now and then I happen upon a few bug visitors that make me smile.
After many years, I happened upon fireflies the other night. Wonderous!
Many thanks for hosting "My Corner of the World.'
Yes, I can't walk by the beauty of plants sometimes, although I try too, especially when I have more than my share. But, then, sometimes I circle back around. ;^)
And bring home another little posy for the posy's shake.
Thank you, Soma. And also for hosting "Wandering Camera.
Oh thank you. The beauty of flowers resolutely needs to be seen and shared.
They are a delight.
