Photo #120/365: Hanging Baskets

There were lots of baskets with colorful flowers at the Hy-Vee Garden Center. Today's trip was just to look, but these would look great hanging on my porch.

Photo #119/365: The Garden Center

It was a beautiful day today with temperatures in the mid sixties, and lots of sunshine. I spent some time cleaning out one of my flowerbeds, and then stopped by the Hy-Vee Garden Center. I was looking at the annuals, but I never put any in until after May 10th. My grandma gave me this advice years ago, and I always follow it.

Unfortunately tragedy befell me while I was in the garden center. I dropped my camera and broke it. I ended up taking this picture with my phone.

Photo #92/365: Sure Sign of Spring

There aren't any plants here yet, but the fence and shelters are up. They're already stocking up on soil and mulch. When Hy-Vee sets up their greenhouse, that's a sure sign of spring.

Photo #56/365: Smile!

My photo for the day came from Hy-Vee again. I was immediately drawn to this cheerful display when I walked past the Hy-Vee Floral Shop. You can't help but smile with all this yellow and the happy faces. It was a bright spot on a cold dreary and now snowy day.

Photo #298: Gourds

It's been a really horrible day. I had to put my sweet Zoe to sleep today. I will write about her tomorrow, but I'm not up to it just yet. Once again I snapped a shot at Hy-vee. I saw this box of colorful gourds when I was on my way out of the store.

Photo #266: Pumpkins

I've been struggling lately, trying to find a good photo. Once again, I found my shot at Hy-Vee, my nearby grocery store. I love the colors of autumn. A few days ago I photographed all the chrysanthemums that were sitting in front of the store. Today the pumpkins had arrived. I snapped this photo in the rain.

Photo #231: Hy-Vee Flowers

The Daily Shoot for today was to take a photo of something you eat, and make it look appetizing. Unfortunately, I didn't read that until after I had finished my dinner, and to be honest it wasn't that great. I decided to go up to Hy-Vee for one of their steak dinners. I've gone before, and it's been pretty good. It runs from 4 to 7. I would suggest you go closer to 4:00, because things were pretty dried out by 6:45. Instead, I took a photo of these yellow flowers that were on each table. It's kind of difficult to add ambiance to a grocery store cafe.
