Patio Plants...

Our patio has been a great source of pleasure for Debbie and I this year. We've got something like 40 or 50 plants on it, all potted. Many of them are perched on log segments, both purely for the visual effect and to keep the hungry rabbits from munching them (Debbie won't let me shoot the damned things!).

The photos below were all taken this morning in a binge shoot. It felt good to spend a little time with a hobby; I haven't taken many just-for-fun photos for a while, having been so immersed in my work. All of them are in natural light, with a 100mm macro lens and a polarizer.

There is only one native plant in the entire collection on our patio: a Western Redbud. The other plants you see below include honeysuckle, rosemary, thyme, lantana, guava, polygala, Texas sage, Cape honeysuckle, a bloomin' basil, phlox, garlic, and more...

Enjoy!
