Description It's amazing how the same storm will devastate some and renew others.

Photographed in the evening just after a rainstorm. Urbandale, Iowa.

This is awesome. At first I thought you'd applied a filter to it, but after I looked at it larger, I saw it was just the lighting making for a beautiful shot! Well done!

Thank you very much. It was an incredible evening light shining on the droplets left by the storm but it had devastated many of the garden flowers... the daisies as usual had persevered.

I didn't plant flowers this year. We had such a late spring that when it finally warmed up enough, I decided I didn't feel like it.

We have Irises that come in every year. This photo was taken at my sister's house near Des Moines... she has a professional gardener do the planning and planting and she does the weeding and watering [I think].

I had a few daffodils that came up. I also have some hydrangea and butterfly bushes, but no blooms from them. Oh, and the rose bushes that finally started blooming.

papatheo In reply to La-Vita-a-Bella [2009-06-22 21:47:44 +0000 UTC]

Butterfly bushes are awesome... we also have some GORGEOUS lilies... but the deer tend to eat the blossoms before they are fully open.

My butterfly bushes haven't bloomed yet this year. They had a some damage from the frost this past winter...we had such a late spring. Even my rose bushes had some damage. How nice you get deer where you live, but that's too bad that they eat your flowers.

Perhaps you could put out apples for the deer so they won't eat your flowers!

Apples are expensive and I was "chuffed" by three different deer the last time I was in the field... I figure they are good for ten or so each time they are in the neighborhood!!!

La-Vita-a-Bella In reply to papatheo [2009-07-10 15:28:50 +0000 UTC]

I forget about the cost of apples since I live in an apple producing area. I get them for free, but I hardly ever get them 'cause they're just not my favorite fuit. I like bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon. But I doubt the deer would like those much.

I also live in an apple producing area [actually everything on your list except bananas]... but apples are at a premium here since this is a BIG tourist area!!!

The apple crop this year is supposed to be large and good this year. The first of the crop started being picked this past Friday.
