I Was Having Photo Withdrawals!

I could not stand it any more. I have seen so many photos I wanted to take and share with all of you. I finally asked my son if I could borrow his camera for a couple of days. He has a camera very similar to mine, his model is the Canon PowerShot A2300 HD  with 5x optical zoom and 16.0 Mega Pixels.  He also got his 4 years ago. He doesn’t use it as often as I did. The link is to the Amazon page. He nor I paid these crazy prices 4 years ago. Both of our cameras were priced around $120.00 dollars brand new through Amazon. Now they are only available through other sellers on Amazon at these hyped up prices.

We were at Walmart last Tuesday looking at cameras. They had this new model Canon PowerShot ELPH 180 (Silver) with 20.0 MP CCD Sensor and 8x Optical Zoom for $119.00 Which is what I paid for my old camera. It is also available on Amazon for the same price.  So maybe he will get it for me for my birthday in October. 😀 Ok, enough yammer about cameras, I will get on with the photos I wanted to share with you.

First up is this photo of my first gladiolus bloom!

I am so excited that they have finally started to bloom.

So far though only three of them have canes.

You can see one of the other canes just to the left of this one.

The other one is around the corner of the deck.

I am also very happy with how my mixed orange yellow marigolds have taken off.

Look at those big beautiful blooms and the bushy plants!

The ones in the carrot patch.

They were ready for a close up! 😀

These are the ones in the back near the yellow squash. They are a bit stubby but still bushy and loaded with blooms.

These are the two marigolds in the corner of the strawberries. They will be flowering soon.

The tomatoes are ripening now.

And the peppers are bushy and healthy.

I have picked one green pepper which I used in a stir fry.

Many more on the way.

The bushy and healthy pepperplants.

Some of the larger green peppers.

Some of the smaller green peppers.

This is the biggest of the sweet peppers. I will let them turn their red, yellow, and orange colors before picking any of them.
