Macro Monday - hosted by LisaThis is what happens when you leave onions in the ground and they go to seed.
Ellipsis - Monday Photo Shoot: Stars
This week Carly from Ellipsis invites us to explore STARS, anywhere we can find them.
So I went out to the garden and found this pale purple star shaped flower.
And then I dipped into my archives for last year's stargazer lily, which isn't quite blooming yet this year.

PhotoHunt - Flags
This week's PhotoHunt assignment: FLAGS
The City of Portland flag. According to the City's website:
Green symbolizes Oregon’s forests, which surround Portland. The intersecting vertical and horizontal blue stripes represent the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, with the central white star (technically, a “hypocycloid”) signifying Portland at their confluence. The yellow stripes symbolize the harvest of golden yellow grain (Portland is a major exporter of wheat) and the gold of commerce. The white stripes are merely decorative. The offset cross is not intended to resemble a Scandinavian cross.

Nature Notes 06-25-09: Anticipation
Nature Notes is the brainchild of Rambling Woods who challenges us to "look at something you might never had paid attention to..a flower…a plant..an animal…What changes are taking place?..Is your garden starting to come to life again?"
There's so much happening in the gardens in June here. Berries are ripening, buds are getting ready to burst open, seed pods are forming.
I just have to wonder what's going on inside these lily buds. Looks like someone else is curious too.
Top row: Blueberries almost ready! -- Crocosmia will soon burst into colorful red and yellow -- Hydrangea buds.
Middle row: Cone flower, or echinacea, getting ready to bloom.
Bottom row: Kiwi vine -- Poppy seed pod -- Baby tomato.

Sepia Scenes 06-24-09: 78s
Sepia Scenes is hosted by Mary T, who also hosts the fabulous Ruby Tuesday.
Even before the nearly extinct 33 1/3 rpm records, there were 78s. They were thick and heavy (and much more satisfying to break!) Storage was an issue.
