1. Full Moon Rising (Sky Watch Friday)
 |
| Lee County, Mississippi, USA, June 26 2018 |
The moon was rising in the east just as the setting sun cast a final glow on the clouds.
It is times like this that I think of getting a more sophisticated camera for better photos, but the weight of the larger cameras stops me from buying one. (I use a Canon PowerShot SX520 HS)
2. Good Food!
 |
| Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, June 20, 2018 |
Santa Fe Tilapia at O'Charley's Restaurant: grilled tilapia filet (with pico de gallo) on a bed of rice pilaf with steamed broccoli. A bit spicy, but eating their wonderful home-made rolls will help cool down your mouth!
And for dessert - Apple Pie! (Wednesday's special at O'Charley's is a free piece of pie).
3. Phlox (Floral Friday Fotos)
 |
| Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 27, 2018 |
Phlox is a genus of 67 species found mostly in North America. I am not sure which one I have here in my garden. Phlox flowers may be light blue, violet, red, pink, or white. Butterflies enjoy their nectar. They are also a popular food source for groundhogs, rabbits, and deer.
4. A Gardener's Friend (Saturday's Critters)
 |
| Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 19, 2018 |
Toads will eat many insects and other pests found in your garden. They prefer a moist environment where they can find insects, earthworms, slugs, and snails. To make Toads feel at home in your garden, provide a source of water, do not use insecticides or pesticides, and leave an area of leaf litter with small sticks and other debris to give them a place to hibernate in the Winter. You will be glad you did!
5. After the Rain (Weekend Reflections)
 |
| Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 21, 2018 |
Delicious rain water!
Have a wonderful weekend!

The toad is very cute and your advice is wise.
ReplyDelete...sunset and mooning rising, wow times 2.
ReplyDelete...I'll start with the apple pie.
...phlox are pretty is you can keep the mildew off of them.
...do toads give you warts?
...we received some much needed rain.
Thanks Lea for stopping by, wishing you a fabulous weekend.
Lea, you and I have the same make of camera and probably for the same reason, we don't upgrade, the weight of a newer one with a better zoom. Mine has been a very faithful companion on many a picture taking jaunt. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the sky shot and the beautiful moon. Apple pie is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
The kitty must be my favourite!
ReplyDeleteThose first two photos are glorious.
ReplyDeleteWe ate at an O'Charley's in Mississippi in January 2016. The waitress there gave us the best tip on where to go on the Gulf - Orange Beach. She was right too.
ReplyDeleteLove the sky shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moon captures, and I like that big fat toad!! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers made me realize I've never tried to plant phlox. I looked up pictures of them just now, and I think I'd like to try. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Thank you for sharing.
