A Garden Walk

It's another beautiful day, so I snapped a few pictures while I was outside.

 The hibiscus are about finished blooming.

The vincas are still going.

Geraniums still look good.


We still have roses budding.


Marigolds are troopers, of course, and will bloom up until it frosts.

The petunias are starting to peter-out.
Our Tardiva hydrangea blossoms are getting tinged with pinks and beige as they begin drying.


Someone has been nibbling on these leaves. This mix of impatiens and coleus came in a basket as a retirement gift from a sweet family at school.
 



I love the brightly colored zinnias.

Look who I found on my walk! This (harmless) yellow garden spider has made a home on the shrubs by the air conditioner units. Can you see the elaborate zig-zag running down the bottom of the web?
