From the yard

Here are a couple of pics from my yard, and the neighbors yard. The hummingbird moth didn't take much notice of me. I've always liked black eyed susans. They're so cheerful and summery.

neat colors

These were called shooting stars I think...

These Pics were taken at a Balloon Festival in Greenville NY. It cost about 4 hours for us to hang around and see them on our way back home from our mini-vacation in New England. We got in about 2 am... I thought it was worth it. They launched about a dozen balloons near dusk. It was a little hazier than I would have liked, but... what was i gonna do?

This view always reminds me of a light saber or something religious. The glow is always there!
