July 2011

The weather has been very hot lately, 100 degrees Fahrenheit most days which means we
cannot be outside for very long while the sun is up, so I went out earlier than usual to take the garden photos.
The sprinklers had run so many of the flowers had beautiful water droplets on.
Some flowers were not open when I first went out with my camera. The yellow hibiscus, purslane and water lilies were amongst those that came out later in the morning.
