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

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.

Begonia Macro Shot

A macro shot of a non stop begonia - one of my favorite shade plants.  Can be purchased as a card, framed print, canvas etc on my Red Bubble Site:  http://www.redbubble.com/people/sandrafoster/works/8612493-glowing-begonia?c=138267-macro-and-closeup

Summer time!

The front lawn scene of our last home. 

Elderberry Tree Blossom

My favorite fast growing large shrub (small tree).  Bonus:  It bears beautiful berries every fall if not pruned the season before. I have two of these growing in our back yard and it rarely is bothered by bugs. Processed in Adobe Photoshop Elements using the Selective Coloring Technique.
