Nature walk

I took some pictures yesterday while it was a little gloomy out. It is hard to get pictures of flowers in the direct sunlight. Here is the first balloon flower blossom, peeking between the lilies. The hydrangea bush is doing well.
The blossoms are bigger this year.
This is a rather invasive flower. When I moved here it was in the little piece of dirt between a sidewalk and the garage wall, and on the north side of the house. Suddenly about 10 years ago it was coming up everywhere. It is a native type plant that doesn't need much water, some kind of a bellflower.
I liked this little section of the front garden with the coleus planted in there for some color contrast.
Yesterday was a down day, all I did was pet fabric and take my mother to her dr. appointment. Today maybe I'll make some decisions.
