Garden gazing...

A couple of quick shots from the garden tonight...
My vege garden to be exact.
My 'pea' section of my vege garden to be absolutely specific.

This ladybug was trying to hide in the cap of a snow pea...
...
And the light shining through the translucent shell
of this pea shell captured my eye...

How cool are the 'veins' and 'baby peas'?
More garden shots to come but these couple caught my eye.
...
I'm not much of a green thumb,
but am finally understanding the little bits of magic
to be had tilling the earth... how 'bout you?
Any earthly magic touched your world lately?

The Ladybug looks like it has a silhouette of a duck on it's back! Nice capture!

Reaally great photos. Love the contrast of red and greens. Gardens in the northern hemisphere are either in full glory or fading fast.

Yep. The kind of magic that happens when one person's story touches your own life, and changes your perspective, encourages you, gives you a peace that allows you to continue on with your own rut.

Aren't people great?

Mmmm snowpeas...

Ours have only gone into the ground - although I am rather proud of the produce in the back yard, my camera doesn't do it any justice whatsoever.

I like the tendrils in front of the ladybird - looks like she is pushing something (although just typing "she" there brought to mind A Bugs Life and I forgot what I was going to say.)

Lovely pictures BB! I love ladybugs and peas so this was a good post for me ;-) I don't have a yard right now so no garden but it did finally rain and the sagebrush smells sooo good. It actually smells green outside. Do you know what i mean? Definitely earthly magic!

Two things to be enviously impressed about. The garden produce. AND the sensational photography!
