Description

Hello and happy Monday! Some of you haven't heard (and maybe don't really care, lol) but my new (used) CR-V is in the body shop for repair of hail damage. Consequently, it has been a VERY "reflective" summer as we are down to one car in this family. What I'm saying is at first I felt like a grounded teenager! lol I knew I had to become more positive... "sigh" So, that gave me time at home to wander with my camera! This is a view of the dill patch in the garden looking up toward the old shed. The dill all volunteered on their own and grew HUGE. I thought all the colors and textures created with the dill against the shed looked cool. But hey, I AM bored. *grin* Thanks for looking and enjoy the week! Jodie Please visit my personal website...

I think it looks charming against the quaint old shed! It brings back memories of helping my mom can pickles, and just the thought of that vinegar and dill still takes my breath away from the overpowering odor.

Wonderfully complex & rolling & musical. The dill rolls likke crests on an ocean, and it looks as if it goes on forever and you caught a 'glimpse' of it. But its capture against this shed is just the best. It's such an unexpected juxtaposition! The shed is all lines and blues and shadows and that rust-colored awning, and it's so different from the youthful & airy dill: It's one of those shots that tells us that life is the mix of all kinds of worlds. You even included the brick on the right side of the shed—which is another texture. And the bushes are like garnishes. I luvvv this shot. Hey, if not having your CR-V leads to this, may it stay in the shop for months! (Ha! Shut up Mark!) Well, it would be great for us at least! (And btw, is this your chicken shed? Have they said, "whoa! Like, that's a lotta DILL!!!!")

The mixture of greens and textures is just marvelous. And the shed lends an "honest" touch.

Now sprinkle the fields with lots of green dill, keep on sprinkling until it's a thrill. It's good for the fields and an eyeful pleasure it yields. Hehe Lovely contrasted against the old iron shed Jodie, it's a feast for the eyes. Well captured.

In August in Sweden the season of fishing crawfish begins. To these dill crowns in a mass is a must. Don't know if it is special for Sweden, but it s a great tradition. Colored lamps, ridiculous hats and bibs for the guests, and singing a lot and drinking a lot! The night before all go out in the dark with headlights to catch the crawfishes in crayfish-pots. Then they are boiled with lots of dill. Beautiful shot BTW!
