front yard flowers

Okay, this is exactly what I wanted last year when we fixed up this section of the yard. An area I could use for flower pictures without having to go to the botanic gardens every time. :) I love it! It took longer than I'd wanted to get going this summer, probably d/t not enough water (this is Albuquerque after all) but it's been gorgeous for a couple of months now. Anyway these flowers are going to last at least a couple more weeks if anyone likes...

I took these instead of school portraits, which we never really like, but it's fun to get dressed up & hair curled, etc, on school picture day anyway. Oh and I have to say, she planned all these poses & the location herself, I just went along with it. :)
