You must do a book of your photo's!
Looks like a grand celebration of all that's July.
I love your Japanese maples. They are so striking! I agree with Fiona - your photography is beautiful!!
Fiona, I would love to publish my blog by year to have them as keepsake books, but the cost stops me. Thanks for your kind compliment (you, too, Susan)!
July would be wonderful, Nancy Kay, if it was about 20 degrees cooler. :-/
Susan, that maple is actually a Sunset maple, not one of my Japanese maples. I have two Sunset maples planted on the south side of the house that until now haven't been very impressive, but this year they are making me take notice!
Gorgeous daylilies.
