Last one! So many of these flowers, so much fun to shoot, even more fun to share. Hope you have enjoyed the series! 

Happy Wednesday! 

More Garden Pics!

I just spent my morning editing pictures. Usually I would say this was a huge pain... I hate editing pictures. I just want them to look perfect when I take them and that's it. Unfortunately, they just look better with a little tweaking.(Maybe I should work on my skill.... no.... nevermind..) But, today's editing went much better than normal and it is all thanks to that great man I like to call "Hubs" or "Hubby" or "John Patrick" when he does something I don't like... Last night, when I started mumbling and grumbling about editing pictures, he started looking for an easier to use editing program for me. In about 5 minutes he had found it. It's wonderful. Simple button clicks and I'm done! Everything is right there! No opening, closing, saving, re-saving, etc, etc. Ahhhhhhhhh. Lovely. So here are a few more pictures of the beautiful garden of Bruce and Roxanne!

 I think these might be my favorites. Lovely and so delicate.

Hollyhocks. My Granny Saylor grew these. I use to pop the seedpods.. 

This is Tess? Or Jack? I can tell them apart when I am looking at both of them.. but I can't right now. The kitty made a good subject! :-) 

Why do these fellows look to happy to me? 

Alright! That's it for today! More tomorrow!

Rooftop Garden of Bruce and Roxanne

I'm back! Sorry for the 2 week break guys! Our computer has been in the shop so I haven't really been able to update as much as I would like! Fortunately, while I had all of that time to myself, I planned out a lot of blogs in advance. 

Last week I visited some of my favorite people in France who just so happen to have the most amazing rooftop garden. Bruce and Roxanne moved to Nice after living in NYC where they owned their own restaurant, Cafe Loup. I met them through my time in the English-American Library and they are just fantastic. 

Anyways, back to the garden!! B&R have a huge balcony of which they take full advantage. About 3 times a year, they change out their plants- spring is tulips and primroses, summer is lilies, petunias, and hollyhocks, winter comes with even more changes. It's wonderful. This is the summer garden.

For the next few days, I will post pictures of their beautiful flowers. Enjoy!
