Bird Bath Scene

Took this shot in my backyard.  Pots of tagettes and dahlias in foreground with chives, hostas, astilbe and ferns in background.

Petunias on table and chairs

Took this shot of my neighbors petunias.  Added an allover texture to it in Photoshop.

Matricia

Did an artistic touch to this perennial.  I believe it belongs to the chrysanthemum family.  Grows as a biennial and readily goes to seed.  It is special to me as I got it from my Mother - believe it or not via her compost. The flowers are semi double and about 1/2 inch across.  Makes a nice cut flower.

Watering Can Art

Borrowed my neighbors water can and placed it among the miniature campanulas and hostas.  Added a script texture to it in Photoshop.  Credit and thanks to Joessistah at Flickr for the texture.

Dragon Wing Begonia

Grew these begonias in pots on our deck.  They are blooming when I buy them from the nursery and bloom till frost.  One of my favorite plants, never bothered by bugs. Used my creative software on this shot to look like an oil crackle painting.

Chive Macro

Love growing chives for the green "onion" taste.  These come from a bulb and easy to divide and share with friends.  This shot is taken by a macro lens showing the detail on the petals.  Can be purchased as a card etc on my Red Bubble Site:  http://www.redbubble.com/people/sandrafoster/works/9196586-two-chive-blossoms

Backyard Fountain Garden Scene

Yellow tagettes grown in pots in foreground.  On each side of the fountain is nasturiums ready to bloom.  In background is Valarian. 

Summer Ending Quote

Created this quote on my own grunge background.  We had a perfect summer, no storms, no hail!  Just kept busy watering as we had a very dry summer.

Red Dahlia

Dahlia with thanks to my friends Stan and Andrea.  Used selective coloring to make the beautiful dahlia pop.

Astilbe Delight

Perennial grown in my backyard.  They love compost to be dug in around the root area.  Deadhead to keep the plant looking tidy.
