Our World Tuesday: In the Garden



From June 16, 2012
I spent Friday last week in the garden watching the ivy grow. Someone has to take note of these things.

Then this dragonfly caught my attention. Every time I had the camera ready to take his portrait, he moved to some other leaf. Our game of hide-and-seek lasted a good few minutes before he smiled and said, "cheese."

Clyde, who loves cheese, has no problem with the word; and he gave me one of his best grins. He appreciates the leafy greens, too. They keep him cool and out of the sunshine. The boy has a winning smile, that's for sure. My world is small, but I like it.

  9. Dear Sandy, I love ivy.;) This makes me think of my white house - I planted ivy all over the north facing fence a few years back and it grew beyond belief.
    I miss that house at times...
    Have a great week,
    xoxo

  12. I like it too!!! Clyde is a ham and I wish I could get our kids' two Aussies to pose for me like that. They're like a couple of pre-teens -- every time I take out the camera they run.
