They are so bright and provide a nice snack for birds and squirrels if the raccoons don't get to them first. :) The other flower is Linaria vulgaris which grows all over the roadsides here too. It is commonly called Butter-and-eggs.

I do love going to church and serving others but I am a homebody when I can be. <br />I loved your flower pictures. I would love to see your flower garden.

I do like to socialize now and then, but usually someone else will have to initiate it and then I join in.

I agree they are the most cheerful flowers, Cheryl.<br /><br />Also, it was interesting to read your comments about the Nikon Coolpix you recently bought and decided it was not the one for you. I too had second thoughts about the Samsung "smart camera" I bought and raved about in a post. It did great on closeups, but seemed to have problems focusing when action was involved. So it's being sold on ebay and I am now in the market for a replacement and also looking at Canon since that's the brand I am most familiar with...curious as to which model you are checking out as I was considering the PowerShot SX60.Beatrice P.

I drive all over looking for them because they are such beautiful subjects to photograph. Sorry about the camera, but it is good you can return it. Check out QVC, they had a lovely Canon on sale, 12X zoom and it was $1.99 I think on sale from much higher. You can go online, they have a great website, just type in Canon cameras, their prices are very low because they buy so much, and they are always great about returns. I have been buying from them for over 25 years.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-72166786866112684112013-08-12T14:46:08.343-05:002013-08-12T14:46:08.343-05:00Love sunflowers.
