#240 — Sunny
Quilly | July 10, 2009
This beauty grows in my Aunt Vera’s garden. She posed prettily for me so I could take her pic. I do not know her formal name — although I was told. I just call her Sunny.

#239 — Sweet Wild Rose
Quilly | July 9, 2009
Cluster of Wild Roses 2009. These beauties also grow in my Aunt Vera’s yard. The bush grows wild and free and has gotten so large over the years that the garden path no longer passes by it, but instead detours around it.
#238 — Teasel
Quilly | July 8, 2009
Teasel 2009. Weeds need love, too. This is probably one of my favorite photographs. I knew it would be when I framed the shot. This gorgeous plant, almost as tall as I am, is as fierce as it is beautiful and arms itself with vicious spikes. In days past, the plant’s spiky flower was dried […]
#237 — Too Cool
Quilly | July 7, 2009
Llama 2009. This is Joey. He is a shepherd and cares for the sheep on my Aunt’s & Uncle’s farm. I know he looks like a sweetheart, but many fox and other wild beasties have discovered that he is quite ferocious when protecting his sheep.
#236 — Hummingbird Landing
Quilly | July 6, 2009
Hummingbird Landing 2009. This feeder hangs off the side of my Aunt’s and Uncle’s house. My Aunt estimates that about 30 hummingbirds feed there daily. She is kept busy filling the nectar tank.
#235 — Hummingbird Flight
Quilly | July 5, 2009
Hummingbird Flight 2009. I wanted so badly to get photographs of hummingbirds, but didn’t think my talent was up to capturing any descent shots — luckily my camera was! Here is a hummingbird swooping in for a drink.
#234 — Time to Blossom
Quilly | July 3, 2009
Time to Blossom, 1:23 P.M. HST, 2009 This Rainshower Tree stands on the corner of Kalakaua and Seaside in Waikiki on Oahu. The clock graces the front of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. I took the photo from the 5th floor parking level of the Waikiki Business Plaza.
#233 — Lovely Lily
Quilly | July 2, 2009
Lovely Lily 2009. Photo taken at the San Juan Winery, San Juan Island, Washington. The gardens surrounding the San Juan Winery make it a double delight to visit there. One can sample the wine, wonder about the grounds, enjoy the exquisite flora and investigate the wedding chapel. This is one of my favorite photos because […]
#232 — Don't Look Up
Quilly | June 28, 2009
Argiope Spider 2009. Photo taken in the lady’s room at Waimanalo Beach, Oahu, Hawaii These big colorful spiders fascinate me. They mean no harm to humans, and some scientist believe that the reason Argiope decorate their webs with huge Xs is to keep birds and people from blundering through them.  They primarily feed on small […]
#231 — Sun, Sand & Sea
Quilly | June 27, 2009
Waimanalo Beach 2009 The incredible blues of Oahu are dazzling at Waimanalo Beach. The beach is over five and a half miles long and is the largest stretch of sandy beach on Oahu.  The mansion known as “Robin’s Nest” in Magnum P.I. is in Waimanalo Beach [town]. The property is privately owned and known locally […]
