Garden flowers and 3 bucks

Oh, good grief! We are a week away from summer! Normal temps are lows of 14 C.

I've whinged about my cataracts a lot. I am sorry. It helps to vent. They do explain why I am not reading well, or easily. The laptop helps, as I can enlarge the text. In terms of photography, what I did was put on the zoom lens to photograph the flowers. That, and autofocus, stood me in good stead. 

Poppies

The hosta are doing well! Soon the deer will chomp it. What the heck!

Jack-in-the-pulpit

Giant allium and clematis


My hosta are coming along... for now!

My planter box is filling out. 

The weigela bush is lovely! The lilacs are done, but other flowers are popping up.  

Saturday morning, 7 a.m., speak of the devil! Three bucks! 
This is who I saw first. I grabbed the camera. Ran back to the deck door and slowly, quietly opened it. They were bothered by me, but the cats slipped out behind me. The bucks watched them closely.

Gorgeous photos today, flowers and wildlife are calming. I hope you get those cataracts done sooner rather than later.

The deer ears are very alert! In my neck of the woods, it’s been rainy, sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy … you get the picture. I like how it's keeping the foliage super green and lush. It also keeps people a little less close, which is probably best during this pandemic.

Sorry about your weather. It isn’t feeling very summery here in Oregon this week either especially to us since we’re used to Florida temps! ....I forgot what you wrote about when you can have your cataract surgery, hope it is soon. But your pictures all look just beautiful, they are not stopping your talent.
