Yellow
While I was out on a walk with my boys we found some lovely yellow chrysanthemums in our neighborhood. As an added bonus there was a yellow jacket sitting on one of the flowers! He appeared a little worse for wear, as he is missing an antenna and made no effort to fly away even when I got in close.
Connections
I admit that this prompt had me stumped! Luckily my son loves to do puzzles, and while he was connecting the pieces, I made the connection to this prompt and got out my camera.
Getting Ready
I also took these pictures while walking with my boys. There were tons of bees buzzing all over these little flowers! They were all very busy collecting nectar and pollen to get ready for the coming winter.
Bright
This week as I have walked my boys to school, I have been checking out all the pretty flowers that are blooming locally. My flower beds are usually bare in the Fall, so I have essentially been "shopping" for flowers I would like to plant. I loved these bright little flowers the moment I saw them. They are called Firewagon flowers and the only drawback is that they are annuals, so I would have to replant them every year.
Originally I planned to use my "bright" photo for this prompt. But then this afternoon we were planting some fall mums that we bought today and I spotted a teeny tiny ladybug crawling around on the stems. I had to run into the house and grab my camera so I could get a picture before he flew away!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Love the teeny tiny lady bug!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! My favorite is "teeny tiny"! What a great find.
ReplyDeleteSuper idea for the connections prompt.Sometimes the ones that stump you turn out to be the best.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love the bees and ladybug! Great job this week!
ReplyDeleteI love your set. I look forward to seeing what you come up with every week ;D
ReplyDeleteLove the bugs and blooms. Connections was stumping me as well. Love yours! Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I love how you thought outside the box for connections- you always make me smile with the way you interpret the prompts each week.
ReplyDeleteah! I haven't seen ladybugs in my area for a lonf time. Wonder why? yours is adorable. Love your CONNECTIONS idea.
ReplyDeleteFantastic set - extra props for your 'connections' shot.
ReplyDeleteI love all your flower images, especially the last one with the Ladybug!! Give the firewagon a try. We call them Lantana here. I plant them every year because they are so tolerant of heat, drought, and me not always taking good care of them! I've had a least one plant come back for a repeat year!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty set. I love that little lady bug.
ReplyDeleteLovely flower pictures. The colors you captured are so vibrant and the lady bug is fun.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did for connections . . . so creative. And the ladybug, such a sweet capture. Great job, girl.
ReplyDeleteI asked my boys. What is teeny tiny and they wanted me to get a picture of a ladybug
ReplyDelete. I'm so excited you have the picture of one! Beautiful set I love to everyone of them.
I'm really loving your set! Great shots of the bee and the ladybird. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty floral this week. I love the bee, and the ladybug is my favorite. I'm glad I'm not the only one that runs inside before the photo op is gone when gardening. Another reason I wear garden gloves, is so I have clean hands to use it.
ReplyDeleteyou have a clever eye:)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
the sweet goodness,
Jennifer

ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower shots!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all very beautiful shots! I love the last one with the little beetle.
ReplyDeleteWonderful set and very pretty with all the lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites were: Bright (We call them Lantana plants) and they are really colorful in a garden.
Teeny Tiny - Great spot of the ladybug and the flowers look so lovely.
Also enjoyed your great interpretation of Connections.
I can almost smell all the flowers! and hear the bees! there is a connection between bees & flowers... he he... we've been covering that in "school" ... how so many things are connected... in positive and negative ways... beavers causing habitats for some animals by building dams that create ponds... yet... destroying wildlife habitat on land! =) anyway... you captured a lot of connections! lol! I was stumped by that one too... stretched it out of the box!
ReplyDeleteso... I love the annual flowers that you want to plant... can't remember the name... Firesomethingoranother.... need to go back up and write it down! lovely!! =)
All of these are just lovely! Great closeups of the bees and bugs!
ReplyDeleteI like the little hands doing the puzzle. My Granddaughters love Buzz. :)
I appreciate your visit this week.
