My Friend, Velma
My friend, Velma, is a wonderful photographer. I am struggling to select just a few of her photos as there as so many beautiful choices.
A dewy,perfect bell pepper!
Over the years, she has expanded her viewpoints. First, I loved her land and seascapes, and then her wonderful vegetable garden photos. She gardens in pots in a narrow isle

between her house and her fence. (Perhaps,in the spring, she will help us get our garden started too!) She lives in the almost tropical climate of the Gulf Coast so she has an extended growing season.
And, finally, I am absolutely loving her critters who visit her garden.

Goggle Eyes!
Snoozing!

Ben Franklin placed plants at the center of the country’s struggle for independence. He saw seeds as carrying the potential for economic viability and political freedom in the new world. He corresponded with gardeners in America and Europe, exchanged seeds and experimented with them in his large and beautiful Philadelphia garden. During the Constitutional Convention, delegates held discussions under the mulberry tree in his garden and also exchanged horticultural tips.

Love your blog! I truly appreciate being included as a guest on your blog! Truly an honor!
Photography has been my passion and hobby for many, many years – 35-40 years at the least! I wish I had more time to dedicate to it! I hope and pray that I live long enough to enjoy my retirement and be able to devote more time to photography. For now, I carry my cameras with me everywhere I go and when I see something that captures my soul, I move on it!
Lately, my garden is a recent addition to my list of hobbies – started that two years ago. I love it! Nothing like getting your hands dirty! It serves as a great way to de-stress after a long day at work or a weekend to unwind! I also enjoy the fruits of my labor!
Thank you!
