I can't get over how much I'm enjoying just sitting out in our garden watching the Peonies. They seem to have been more colourful and lasted longer than in past years. But all things in the garden must move on, and as the Peonies fade the Poppies are unfolding their striking orange blooms.
This has been the view from the deck recently,
.... and this the view from the patio as I ride past.
The deep coral ones are beautiful!
But the deep red ones are really striking!
And then there are the Poppies, so bright!
The orange blossoms stand out so much in the morning sunshine!
Meanwhile it was a rainy day here, everything douesed!
Does anyone know how to get rid of 'Live View' on an iphone? That camera setting is really distracting! I haven't found a single situation in which I'd like to keep it! This is just one of several 'Live View' shots. I can turn it off, but later it will come right back of its own accord. Any way to get rid of it permanently?
your gardens are GORGEOUS!!! it is true that every flower has it's time to bloom and it's time to fade so another can take its place. on your iphone, tap your camera on photo at the center bottom...look at the top right and that is where i control that feature!! tap the center circle and that should strike a line through the circle, turning live off. i hope that helps. i have missed you, we got seperated...i hope you are well!!
ReplyDeleteThe live view is just one of those things. My habit is frequently hitting the selfie camera button. Saw our first peonies today, but I guess they've been open for a few days. They were certainly beaten down with the weather.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, it's easy to see why you enjoy gazing upon the garden.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty in your garden. I'd like sitting out there too!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIs that a huge Hosta leaf? Stunning the P's definitely have it in the garden stakes !!!
ReplyDeleteNo idea on the live view...sometimes I get it and sometimes not...no idea why! Your Peonies are lovely...I love the red ones too!
ReplyDeleteThat leaf is spectacular! And your patio is so welcoming and wonderful. But mostly, I'm struck by those deep red Poppies, I never knew there were such things. I need some! Gotta get me some! :-)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your home garden photos with all their colors and compositions. It is a wonderful scenic garden you have there.
ReplyDeleteI love all the great pictures. The flowers are so colorful and cheery.
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are so stunning. Does Mrs. FG get nominated for any 'best garden' contests? She should!
ReplyDeleteI don't have poppies but it seems so many do. Love the colour and the deep red peonies are my favourite.
Don't have an iPhone or 'live view'. 🤷♀️ Sorry!
Your gardens are lovely, and I can imagine enjoying a morning listening to the birds and the insects with a cup of tea. (That's my idea of heaven, should it exist).
ReplyDeleteCan't help you with the iPhone as I'm still using and android.
Your Peonies are beautiful. June is the month to sit and gaze at all the beauty ( before it gets too hot).
