Out in the Woods and in the Garden!

I have taken several photos in the woods and in my garden this summer.

So, today, I am sharing some of them with you.

My peach poppies only bloom for about a week or so, but I love seeing them.

Once it rains, they fall over and they are done, so I always hope we don't get any wind or rain the week they bloom:

I am not sure if these are part of the stems of the poppy,

or

if it is two slug bugs.

I wasn't about to touch them to find out. LOL

So I just took photos of it instead!:

We went to a place called Fummee Falls and this was the steps we had to climb to see the falls:

(My calves and thighs said thank you very much!)

A white and purple Iris in my garden:

Fummee Falls...worth the climb!:

A spooky picture

of

a turkey vulture on a barren tree:

Sweet little doves:

A purple and striped striated Iris...it smells like grapejuice!:

More photos to come (in future blogposts)

 of our lovely summer in the U.P. of Michigan!
