My all-time summer purchases are fruit for breakfast. Peaches—the sweetest, apricots, plums. Cherries, too but they were gone today.
But this summer I’ve been getting flowers and photographing them. Here are zinnias which I love as you can see. (These two bunches were $10 apiece! So, enjoy those you can plant.)
The colors are what I love the most, I guess.
Since photographing them, I’m noticing the lovely details of the flowers.
The centers vary so much just as the petal colors.
I looked for marigolds because I think I can make dye or paint after they are done.
This variety I thought so interesting.
A simple yellow one.
Another single red one.
Another single flower.
I love the fabric your fruit bowl is on!
It’s Japanese. I sold all the others but kept the one.

Absolutely delightful pictures speaking to the heart of summer. Thanks Peggy.
These photographs of flowers, particularly the close ups are a delight! Such a richness and subtlety in their coloration. I particularly enjoyed seeing a spiral at the center of the yellow zinnia. I swear, the flowers are so prolific right now they don’t know what to do with themselves…..beauty everywhere and inspiration for weaving abounds!
Ms Peggy, isn’t Mother Nature amazing! I am in continue awe of what she accomplishes seemingly so easy. But we know it’s taken years, eons to get where we’re at!
Lovely.
Nearly as good as having one.
I do enjoy all the lovely photos! Thanks so much for sharing them. The colors and composition inspire me. 😊
Thanks a lot. I am playing with the colors and compositions.

You always so alive!
Thanks a lot. Coming from you I really appreciate it. Still missing Virginia!

Had to go back and find the yellow zinnia close up…..never noticed the spirals before. Thank you.
Thanks Peggy. I love zinnias also. Last year they were in abundance in my yard but this year the heat has dwindled them….marigolds also.
Beautiful photos! makes me want to make a dye. Easy one to do.
Loved the fruit and flowers. Thanks
Hello Miriam. So nice to “hear” from you. Hope all is well with you and George(??)!!
Fondly,
Peggy
Wonderful blossom shapes and colors. Enjoy your posts!
I like this brick road you’re traveling
