Colors of August
We had a good time at Grandma and Grandpa’s house last weekend. We celebrated Grandpa’s 65th birthday with family, watched the kiddos swim, and ate delicious barbecued ribs, corn on the cob, salad, and other goodies.
I couldn’t help myself—I just had to snap some shots of Grandma’s garden, in all its August glory.
Gaillardia flowers, still chugging away, blooming and then drying out in the Central Valley heat.
Grandma’s hollyhocks and twisty morning glories are gorgeous. We found this strange blue flower blooming in her tree!
Grape vines that try to take over the world—I always hope to capture the color of the light through the leaves, but the photo never quite does it justice.
Toward evening, the morning glories fold up for the night.
A baby sea monster rose out of the greenish depths of Grandma’s pool.
Back home again, I found some pretty pink clouds in the evening sky.
