A ladybug perches on the bud of a dandelion and seems to be enjoying a meal of clustered woolly aphids....

The iridescent cool purples and blues of the Native Larkspur are just magical....

I always enjoy these sweet little blooms, but have long lost the name of this delicate plant. If you can recall what this 1 inch blooming gem is called, I would love to know....

Another view of this mystery bloomer. I love how my lens creates a soft, painterly bursting effect with the surrounding background plants...

A bumble bee burrows its head into the delicate blooms of a Lamb's Ear plant...

A Bachelor Button bloom peers out of a sea of soft green....

Rose Campion blooms on silvery green foliage certainly pop and add bits of vibrant color to the garden landscape....

In the distance, a towering burst of magenta clematis has made its majestic ascent atop a column of rusty remesh for quite a delightful show-stopper....

I spotted this chartreuse grasshopper clinging to the leaf of a Coneflower plant and just swaying in the breeze....

Spent poppy seed heads still attract my eye with their unique shapes, colors and patterns...

Looking down upon the tippy-top of a Red Hot Poker for a different perspective...

The teardrop-shaped buds of a climbing Clematis are close to unfurling....

Again, I am attracted to the painterly effect that this lens captures...

One Purple Coneflower proudly stands amongst a slew of buds soon to follow...

Even the bane of my gardening trials expresses its own delicate beauty as it coils and chokes a neighboring plant. Morning Glory "Bindweed" is ever-present and ever-persistent in my Colorado garden....

Those photos are absolutely beautiful Johanna! Especially love that you captured the critters too.
Thank you!... Glad you are enjoying them. Now, I am inspired to go out to the garden and see what today may bring with camera in hand :) There is always a unique critter out there, just waiting to be discovered!
