We go out to our garden every day to do some maintenance, but also to enjoy flowering shrubs, flowering perennials, fruit trees, and developing vegetables.   If the light is right and the there is not much wind, the camera captures a few highlights.

Various flowering shrubs were either just finished their blooming period, just starting, or were in the middle of producing flowers.   Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption/ID.
