How Does Your Garden Grow?

Here are as few of what I'm trying to grow in 15 to 20 pots, taken 07/01/2024:

1) Midnight Snack Hybrid (a uniquely colored variety of cherry tomato)...

   

2) Another plant of the same type...

   

3) Black Krim Heirloom (I have 5 or 6 thriving plants because this is my absolute favorite) They ripen to display a mix of deep red and almost black and have a rich complex taste with low acid and quite a depth of flavor in a complex mix of earthy hints...

   

4) Yellow Pear, a lovely variety that is showing signs of producing a lot of fruit...

   

Other pots contain a variety of peppers ranging from mild to very hot (Bell peppers, Poblanos, Dragon Cayenne, Blazing Banana Hybrid, two varieties of Thai Hybrids); but these are slow in developing and some aren't doing well.

No new photos so I just revisited and reprocessed an oldie (taken 10 - 15 years ago) of some mushrooms growing at a home a few blocks away...

   

They almost look bronzed, as was once popular to do with baby shoes.

We had a nice sunrise in my neighborhood two mornings ago - a break in the usual June Gloom this time of year...

   

I have no new photos worth sharing, so here's on I probably posted on WetCanvas long ago. It's a male Allen's hummingbird at one of the feeders in our inner front yard, taken 15 + years ago...

   

I had forgotten that I took a few photos of this small cactus blossom four days ago...

   

I wish us all a good weekend and hope that those in parts of the US stay safe in the heat.

Hi Folks

I placed another batch of monthly camera club images into my personal images section. See:

Yes I've beaten you to hump day again.

Less than one kilometre walk would get me to the closest edge of this wetland yet I have to drive about four or more to get to where I don't need to get permission to cross private property. However, it is very flat country and I'd need gumboots and a high chair to get really good photos.
Yes, these are Australia's unique black swans in their natural habitat in a Ramsar listed site, just a kilometre from my backdoor.

Yes and this was my first foray with a Nikon P950. Haven't even familiarised myself with the controls yet.

Tuesday here.
Some colour for you.

Good afternoon all.
Well, like a lot of you, we will be trying to keep cool this week as the temperatures across the country are going to be HOT HOT HOT!
Here is a photo that I took for the MACRO MONDAYS  (FLIKR)  challenge of "WINGS".  Lensbaby + Topaz (post processing) = WING and a Prayer. 
Stay safe, stay cool, stay happy,

Hello all.
And a Happy Father's Day especially to all the great dads here.
I did some light painting  last night and just finished layering all of my images to create this composition. 
These two related oil cans, "father and son" were my dad's.
I wanted it to appear that the little guy was leaning in to say, "Happy Father's Day Dad". 
Have a great day.
