Your photos are amazing!!!!!!!! What kind of camera do you use? WOW! Is all I can say. Do you use Photoshop Elements too? LOVE your work. Charlene
So pretty! I love the angle you shot them at, getting that gorgeous blue sky in the background. Beautiful!
Just beautiful Lori.
Enjoy your Fourth of July!

Happy 4th, Lori! Hey, you have FINALLY won my giveaway!!
Lori...you are SO funny! All your flowers are just beautiful (and I bet your entire yard is, too)! Not only are the flowers beautiful, but your photography is stunning!
xoxo,

What beautiful pictures and flowers - I am green with envy as all my plants have died in the heatwave we are having in Virginia. I'll just have to look at yours for this year! Thanks for sharing
Gorgeous blooms, Lori! Happy 4th to you & yours!

Breath-taking pictures! Wait....if I breathe in hard enough, I think I can actually smell their fresh aroma!
Oh Lori, your blooms are gorgeous!! I should be so lucky. Mine looked pretty for about five minutes and now they're wilting in the heat!
Gorgeous flowers! And it was an amazingly beautiful day here too! I'm not looking forward to the humidity that is on its way!
haha I wouldn't do a panoramic view of my garden either. I blogged about it the other day and you can still see some of the mess and that the was the areas that wasn't too bad ;)
Very pretty flowers :)
Lori gorgeous, don't apologise for not leaving comments, you are probably the best visitor anyone could ever have, gosh, don't worry about it cutie pie!
loving the gorgeous blooms!!!
xox
Your flowers look lovely and believe me they are thriving much better than mine. Here on the coast we have been roasting from the heat and humidity. However, today and yesterday we were blessed with a cold front and it's been wonderful.
hugs and Happy 4th of July.

Just stopping by to wish you and the family a happy 4th!!!
Your garden looks lovely!!!
At least you have a garden!! I have some dirt, where I pulled out some pretty, but invasive, plants. I found a lone peony, a single astilbe, and a litte bed of Monarda. sigh- maybe next year!
Wow, I'm the first comment. Guess that shows what a loser I am on July 4th reading blogs. LOL Seriously, I do have a life, I promise. You read most of 350? Your awesome girl, no wonder your flower bed is one hot mess. I feel very neglectful of my bloggy friends too lately. I'm trying to catch up. Hope you & your cute haircut have a great 4th. Lisa
Lori~ those are the most gorgeous blooms! The lavender colored flower is a variety I'm not familiar with, but reminds me of the desert flowers of my childhood.
Our goofy weather has really messed with our flowers and especially the fruit. I gave up and went to Costco and bought a huge container of strawberries...after my turned to a mildewed mush.
I will never forget the first time I saw green chlorine hair!! It was a shocker!! The poor girl had to come to school with her new*pool doo* or should I say don't, lol.
You're styling with your adorable haircut. Someday I hope to be as brave.
I've had a passion for crinoline from my childhood (oooh sooo looong ago). The frillier the better. You lucky girl!
Sweet 4th of July wishes,
Sara
I'd love to have a flower bed of any kind...so, a"hot mess" would be fine by me! {ps.they don't look so "messy"! ;}
m ^..^
Beautiful!
Oh, and your hair is super cute, too! :-)
GORGEOUS FLOWER PHOTOS!
XOXO

How beautiful the 'surviving' blooms look.

Lori, your blooms are truly gorgeous! What I saw of your beautiful place...it is so lovely! Do you live on a large place? Hey, I don't even show pictures of some of my beds. Some just aren't worthy...hehe! that's what is so great about blogging. We can be very, very selective.
I hope you never worry about me feeling slighted if you don't make it to my place. I know that Summer is a busy time...and I know you're out there somewhere...lol
hugs
Lorie your yard is so pretty- such beautiful summer blossoms. Have a lovely week.
Beautiful and happy blooms in your garden, Lori. Hope you're enjoying the hot summer weather in your fabulous new short haircut.
Wow! I had 199 to read and I thought I was bad :) Beautiful blooms and I have a feeling your garden looks better than you think it does!
Karla

Hello!
Just looking at my puff wand and it made me think of you.
Have a wonderful weekend. Hope your son is having a simply marvelous time off at college. My own daughter has completely forgotten she has a nice and cozy house here, she is having just a good time. I love it that she is independent and totally capable, but sometimes I just wish she needed me a teensy, tiny bit!
