Pictures: second half of June

Something blue, the name of which I forget:




Rudbeckia, aka Black-Eyed Susans:










I don't know the name of this one either, though I imagine it's part of the Asteraceae family. I think it's nifty how much it looks like a silk flower:






Some kind of purply-green foliage:




My mother has set up these birdcages and filled them with twinkle lights. One of the tea roses has grown into one of them.




This is called a stargazer lily. Perhaps more accurately known as the outdoor-lighting-gazer lily? It's pretty and it smells really nice, anyway.






Dragonfly, unfortunately perched on a particularly unattractive dead rose flower.




I like this one because the perspective allows the trees to just dominate the man-made objects in the picture, from the shed to the potted plants. These are hackberries (aka weeds with aspirations), and probably 100 years old.




Attractive clouds at sunset. In the third one, the silhouette is of the mimosa tree, which I still haven't gotten a decent picture of. Maybe when the fluffballs fall off, I can get a close-up of one of them.










Cricket has decided she likes my room. God knows why.

Thanks! I think the concept of the rose growing into the birdcage is more attractive than the actual picture; the angle is all wrong to get a decent shot of it. Oh, well.
