Art in the Garden

As you can see, I've started another patriotic stitch.  I like to work on this theme throughout the month of July.  Chris of Tot Hill Farm Stitches generously gifted me with this chart. 

For this Tuesday's Garden Party, I thought I'd show off some of my garden art.

I decided on a less cluttered look this year. 

So I set out a few blue mushrooms.

Here are a couple more.

Here's my giant grasshopper.

I have several fused glass art items including this set of three flowers. 

I love this cascade of dragonflies.

And while I do not generally care to have bugs in my garden, glass bugs are an exception to the rule.

I bought the long blue glass sun-catcher at Saltram's gift shop near Plymouth, Devon, England.  The blues remind me of the sky and sea there. 

I have lots of volunteer Verbena bonariensis in the flowerbeds.

The hummingbirds enjoy it.

And so do the Swallowtail butterflies.

I think I've got a new plant color combo - yellow and lavender!

I'll end today's post with a pretty sunset.
