With the half the season gone, I know I want to photograph my garden as much as possible to carry me through the long winter months when there are no bumblebees or butterflies to be spied from the kitchen window. I love living in a place with seasons, but fresh roses, cosmos, dahlias, zinnias, and other floriferous joys are sorely missed when the cooler weather starts to drag on.
So here's a little reminder to myself and anyone else out there this week that if you have a chance to take a moment to stop and smell the roses, take it. And maybe take a photo or five, too.

@theandreaborden Beautiful! Right now I’m wishing I was not living in an oven for the last 2+ months. We sneak out in the morning and around dusk to survey, tinker with the plants and weeds, many of the former struggling and would be gone if not for our attention which mostly includes generous doses of water. Some plants are amazing in their ability to withstand the burn. 🤔

As a California native I know what you mean about plants struggling and having to hide from the burn. I now live in the midwest and don't have that issue, but I know the pain well! Hopefully temps start to fall for you soon so you can take more time to enjoy what you're growing!
