It's summer in the valley...

I don't want say too many words to these series of my photos I made today, just this: it was a lovely and very HOT summer day here, up in the hills of Georgia

The corn is high in the valley

Two old barns in a picturesque meadow with wild flowers

Hi my friends,

still sitting up here in the hills, close to Dahlonega, GA - a pretty small tourist town where a lot of summer activities are going on. The weather is nice and lovely, very inviting to stroll in this pretty town where only something over 3600 people are living - the rest are tourists! :)

I hope you enjoy my summer photos....

Thanks again for all the kind comments to my last post(s)!

Don't miss my "Wordless Sunday" tomorrow - and see you there. :)

Birthday Guests in my Yard

These two guys were first to wake me up this morning - much too early -
to give me a birthday wish.

And he was wearing his best bow tie - extra dressing for my birthday , I guess.

And she showed me her wonderful new make up - more extras for me.....

And she started to sing me a birthday song: quack, quack, quack..... and then she left!

As you can see I had a lovely group together already this morning that came to congratulate me for my 58th birthday. I am a lucky girl today! :-))

On a hot summer day I made this picture of the butterfly fluttering gently from flower to flower in my yard.

Ist er nicht schoen, der kleine Schmetterling aus meinem Garten? Es dauerte schon eine Weile bis ich ihn soweit hatte, dass er mit weitgeoeffneten Fluegeln vor meiner Kamera posierte.

It is one of my great passions to photograph the beauty of flowers and orchids like this which are found in abundance in Key West.

Es ist eine grosse Leidenschaft von mir, Blumen und speziell Orchideen zu fotografieren. Sind sie nicht wunderschoen anzusehen, diese kleinen Blueten? Sie sehen fast aus wie kleine Schmetterlinge und verbreiten einen wunderbar suesslichen Duft.
