Being stuck at home means that other than my dolls, the only other thing worth taking photos of is my garden. More specifically, the backyard. There aren't really that many flowers blooming at any one time, so I try get creative and make it look like there are. It's all in the camera angles.

The day lilies are starting to bloom. There's not as many as the first few years, and each flower only lasts one day, so I try go out and take photos....

The backyard is mostly full of shade plants, in other words, mostly all green, so I create some colour by planting impatiens and begonias in pots and urns....
The birdbath is popular with a variety of birds....
I even have ONE exotic lily - a Star Gazer, which is my all time favourite. I think it came back after I was given a pot with them last year, and after flowering I planted it in the lily box. Years ago, I had hundreds of exotic lilies, but I lost the endless battle with the Japanese lily beetles, who destroyed them all. I wonder if it's worth trying to plant some again?
I also like that the exotic lilies last for days, instead of just the one like day lilies. Day lilies are nice, but they don't come in the same vibrant pinks....mostly just reds, oranges and yellows....
