Balcony Garden Slide Show

Today I finally got around to creating a couple of web based photo albums. Initially I wanted to share all the images I had of my former balcony garden. But while I was at it I created another album to save images of one of my sewing projects as well. I wound up using the Picasa technology because it is the first listed option for having a slide show at Blogger. For the moment, I have placed the balcony garden slide show at the bottom of the page for lack of a better idea on where and how to place it.

Photos of Roses and Peonies from my Balcony Garden

These three photographs attempt to capture the entire balcony garden. As can be seen I was not very successful. One was taken from inside the apartment looking out onto the balcony; the others were snapped outside on the balcony itself looking down at the plants. In these photos you can see Carefree Delight, the pink roses by the balcony railings, a modern peach beauty that has a heirloom look and the green of the other plants. The middle photo is a close up of Carefree Delight. Louise Odier is right behind her with her blooms nodding down. You can also note that there are green peony buds just waiting to bloom.





The above two photos are from blooms on the same bush - funny how they appear two different colors in the photo. In the sunlight, the blooms appear to me a peach tinged pink - essentially I guess an orangey pink color.
