Obsessed

Lately all I can think about is gardening!
This beautiful Nippon Lilly made it to Alabama from my New York garden.
I am so pleased to see it preform!

Thanks for your comments today Mary. I wanted to tell you I saw my first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher the other day! SO SWEET and I thought of you!

What a beautiful lily, Eve. I can see why you wanted to have it at your new home. I've never seen a blue-gray gnatcatcher - good for you!

Not only is that a gorgeous lily (I want some) but the composition is awesome! Excellent eye!

Great photo, Eve- I like the composition as well as the subject. I'm glad that you were able to bring some of your flora with you.

Congrats on seeing a Blue Gray Gnatcatcher- they are one of my favorite birds. I had written an article on them last year: http://www.natureatcloserange.com/2008/05/blue-gray-gnatcatcher.html

I was also able to get the following photo of one early this spring:

Glad to hear you saw a Gnatcatcher! I bet that woods around you is loaded with good birds.

Hi Eve, Love that lily. We have alot of lilies and daylilies also.. In fact, we have one similar to yours --which is named Goldband. Ours is a little different....I know you saw Part III--but when you are on my blog, click on the topic on my sidebar for all of our LILIES and/or DAYLILIES.

Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
