48 recent photos I've taken of my Petunias. It's Summer,it's hot and everyone is busy including nature. This is how I start my day... quiet, enjoying nature and taking photos of nature. My garden and nature photos are what helps me get through the day by bringing me a calmness and happiness and I look forward to seeing my garden and nature photos again when I finish being busy for the day. I see nature, I look closely as I take my photos. I know my plant and sometimes sees who visits it, or who lives on it, or who eats it..because I look closer. I look with curiosity, intrigue, interest, care , and my heart feels connected to the garden and nature. I'm a part of it and it's a part of me. I've always been happy in the garden .

Just looking at the tree branches. It’s very peaceful and relaxing to just watch the trees branches sway in the gentle breeze and the sky makes a lovely backdrop of blues and clouds.

I’m excited to see my Petticoat Petunias loving their new potted spot in the morning sunlight. I’m also happy that the Waterdragons aren’t trampling them over to get a higher perch to scout around on….yet…”yet” may be the word to use as they do like their high spots to sit. At the moment Ive seen two Waterdragons are enjoying sitting on the “ Kingdom of Weeds” …laughing . The “ Kingdom of Weeds” which is a foam container I keep throwing weeds in to fry the weeds in the heat from growing and I never get around to emptying it. It’s pretty full and overflowing but a great spot they seem to think. The older female likes sitting there, and Thomas Jacque her baby from last year sits there too both taking turns…. as there can only be one sunbaking lookout keeper on the “ Kingdom of Weeds” at a time….laughing. I have only just started planted some various types of flower seeds( better late than never) so in two months I’m hoping it’s going to start looking very pretty and interesting in the garden ( this may be a heads up of a huge flower dose of photos to come…laughing).

I recently bought three trays of Petticoat Petunias. They are flowering now and are not growing the Petticoat Petunia usual pattern way. Someone else getting them might of thrown them out… and I was certainly looking for specific Purple Petticoat Petunias and hot Pink Petticoat Petunias. I do have a few that turned out with the full Petticoat frill on one shelf but I’ve got a whole extra shelf of these ones. I was a bit disappointed at first as I had my heart set on Petticoat Petunias and I’ve looked at them and thought your a little different but you have your very own style, you can be yourself here with me, Your like every other Petunia and flower in my garden ( and the world) where you just need dirt, water and some care to survive. This is not my first lot of Petunias that have wanted to dress how they wanted to. It would have to be over 5 years ago I had planted some Petunias and they didn’t dress the same as the label. I thought they were interesting, unique but after a quick flowering they died, no seed to save and I was sad and left wondering why. So I’m happy I’ve been given the same opportunity to love and nurture these unique Petunias.

There’s something peaceful about taking time to look up at tree branches and a blue sky. I felt calm, at peace. The garden is my home and where my heart is.

TICKS- Keep an eye out for ticks on yourself and pets. Also have a pair of tweezers to get the tick out. Don’t scratch it out or pinch and pull it out with your fingers as the tick can release things back into you making you more sick. The tweezers are your best option and make sure you get the tweezer pinchers right down at the tick head in the first go. Don’t give the tick a chance to release bad things back into you. Get it out on the first attempt. If you don’t have tweezers at home I suggest you buy a pair and have at home in case the need arises. Tweezers are good for getting thorns , splinters or sharp pieces out of your feet,hands etc too.

This is my Mums Magnolia tree. It’s been in flower and I have taken some photos of the flowers so I can forever see them and also for me to draw them. I’ve done one Magnolia black and white Sketch of her flowers so far and im hoping to do more artworks involving her flowers. I must admit to try and match all those pink colour tones is going to be a lot of mixing and matching of paint to get the right colours and also capture the light and shade areas. I might have a go at it in the break between Christmas Day and New Years Day when I can get some time to concentrate on it properly.

Here’s some Petunias I had growing about three years ago that show an interesting vein pattern. I used them as a reference and I did a little 6x4 drawing of them. It’s given me creative ideas for further down the track.
