Geraniums on the porch

Sitting on my porch among the geraniums after dinner yesterday. I spent some idle time perusing catalogs with a glass of wine while waiting for the storm to come in. It had been hot and steamy all afternoon and we had weather advisories. This morning is quite exquisite.

The bees knees

I was sitting on my back porch after a long day of yard work when I happened upon this bee. And I also happened to have my macro lens on the camera.

Statice

This is limonium sinuatum, a pink and yellow version. I didn't know that just off the top of my head. I had to look it up.
I've been having trouble keeping up with the whole Picture a Day thing and notice that it's been nearly a week since I've last posted here. There's just so much else to do!

Saturday morning

Life slows down on Saturday and as I walked through the dining room to get another cup of coffee, I noticed this little vignette. A gentle breeze moved the curtain and I captured the scene with my trusty Nikon D80.

Striking a pose

This photo of a male red-bellied woodpecker was taken by my husband this afternoon. The zebra-backed woodpecker with its bright red cap is a treat for the eyes. You can read more about it [here], if you like.

Busy

My husband took this photo today with the macro lens. I love the squiggles.

Mary Mahoney's

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with what this blog is titled. You'd think I could at least come up with a single picture a day, wouldn't you?
This is Mary Mahoney's, one of the South's most unique restaurants, located in Biloxi, MS. Established as a restaurant in 1964, it is actually situated in a home that was built in 1737, making it even older than the home I live in (1769). And I hear that the food is absolutely fantastic.
