Barn - Wear and Tear

 

It was a barn/shed in  Alberta,

before it collapsed

under years of weather wear and tear.

Dilapidated Roof

 

Interesting patterns on the dilapidated roof .... 

 

...of an old shed in central Alberta.

Black Poplar

 

Many consider the Black Poplar tree a weed

but I love the intricate patterns

on the light coloured bark

My Garden - Banana Cream

 

The blooms of this special plant in my garden,

Banana Cream Shasta Daisy,

begin as a lemon yellow and

become a butter yellow,

and finally a creamy white as the flowers mature.

 

It adds cheer to my garden...

 

...and is blooming it's heart out right now.
