A sunny day in the garden

The day began cool and foggy, but around noon fingers of sunshine began breaking through and now it's all clear and bright. I took the camera outside to try and catch one of the chickadees on a sunflower, but that never worked. They are such quick (and cute!) little buggers!

Instead, I took a few shots of the yard itself. It's looking pretty lush right now.

Note the bee: not bad for full telephoto

It's a fun blend of wild and crazy and funky -- kind of like me, according to a friend.  No wonder it suits me.
