Do You Like Frogs?

I dug a small pond in our backyard. This year it was full of tadpoles. The tadpoles have now all turned into little frogs. They are so cute! Well, if you like frogs, that is. I took a couple of pictures with my iPhone. The frogs have just lost their tails, and are now sitting on the lily pad leaves. I just love watching them! Unfortunately, our dogs do, too. Except they want to eat them. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you may be able to make out the little critters.

Our first "day lily" planted by the pond has blossomed today, so that makes me really happy. Our backyard is all clay unfortunately, and I have a terrible time trying to get anything to grow.

Pink Saturday June 22, 2013

It's been a while since I've participated in Beverly's Pink Saturday, but when I saw this rose in bloom by our backyard deck, I thought it would be perfect to share. It's an English Rose named Evelyn by David Austen. I took the photo with my iPhone, and then added a couple of elements with Photoshop CS 2.

If you would like to see the posts of the other people participating in this week's Pink Saturday, just click on the picture below. It will take you to How Sweet The Sound, the blog of our hostess Beverly.

By the way, I hope you can stop by again on July 13 th. I'm participating in the Mad Tea Party blog hop. It's always a fun time!

Digital Whisper's Midsummer Eve's Blog Hop

In the waning light

of this midsummer’s eve

I dream of fairies

and the tales they weave.

I dream of swimming

in the moonlight’s beams

while the mermaids dance

in the depths unseen.

I embrace the warmth

of the setting sun

and dream of love

til the new day’s begun.

Beauty's Inspiration

Lani asked us to find three things that inspired us and would inspire us in training our elephant. (You'll need to read Lani's e-zine to find out what training your elephant is all about.) I really enjoyed seeing the roses in bloom, the water in our pond, and the beautiful moon. I, of course, had to represent myself jumping into the middle of all of that beauty.
