Hello,
Happy Monday, wishing everyone a great day and new week!
These are some images from around my yard and our walk on the local bike trail.
I have some blooms from around our yard, we are having enough rain to make everything grow well. It was nice see the clematis plant bloom a second time.
The Lantana growing in this pot is huge, taking up a corner of our deck.
Some potted annuals on the table, upright Fuchsia, Zinnias, Salvia and some herbs.
Usually this fuchsia is sold in a hanging basket, but we found growing in a pot at our local nursery.
Our local bike trail, we can walk a few miles on the flat trail. We usually try walking early in the morning, to avoid the hot and humid afternoons.
A view of our bike trail called the NCR trail or the North Central Railroad rails to trails.
Along the trail is a bench for resting and some Bee Balm. I am seeing Bee Balm everywhere we walk lately.
I had a quick view of the Great Blue Heron flying up the river. Below a view of the Gunpowder River, some hosta blooms and down by the river are the orange daylilies.
I was able to catch this Belted Kingfisher perched on a tree above the river.
Maybe you will visit the following memes and links. I hope to see you there.

We have a lantana too who thinks its purpose in life is to occupy the entire deck and begin its ascent of the fence. I think its next target will be the house!
Helloo, So nice post.
Lovely pics.
Have a nice week ahead.

Hello,
Nice to see all your fuchsia! They are very pretty. I love the Bee Balm. I have planted many of them here too.
Happy new week!
I love Fuchsias.Now they are called "princess' earrings"!Beautiful flowers and amazing landscapes.Love that cute bird too.Hugs!
Nature is so healing...
Beautiful photo mosaics, Eileen. I'd love to hear what you think of the fox in my post. Thanks.
Good morning, Eileen! You've shown us some beautiful flowers. I had completely forgotten about lantana; most likely though because I'm having to plant in pots due to the dragged grasshoppers!
Wish I had your beautiful walking trail. I miss not having that.
xoxo
...wonderful floral delights.
your deck is looking beautiful and I love those rockers. I want two of those. wish list here I come...
Great looking flowers! And yo got a good shot of the kingfisher. I can't live without plants!! Have a great week,
Good to see you enjoying outdoors in the cool of mornings! I sit out with laptop and first cuppa most mornings, reading blogs and emails on my tiny balcony.
Love the look of that trail and the kingfisher.
Happy you dropped by Monday WRites today Eileen
Much✏❤✏love
A stunning display in your own garden, and the Kingfisher? What's up, he says as those feathers all stand up on end. That is a beauty.
Fuchsia is my wife's favorite flower.
I like that trail, perfect to run .... (I am a running addicted).
I love that view down the trail, Eileen! You flowers are doing very well I may try Lantana in a pot next year.
What a wonderful trail to be able to walk to. Nature is everywhere and looking good. Your flowers are very pretty. I love to sit on the bench, the area looks very peaceful. Have a wonderful new week.
I love your porch. It is too hot to sit outdoors, but I hear we are in for a short break in the heat. Fingers crossed. Your flowers are beautiful.
Gorgeous flowers! And awesome kingfisher.
I love seeing your walking trail! You sure see a lot of nature when you go too! Love your deck and pretty flowers. Room for another chair? I'll be right over! heehee!
Your flower garden is lovely!
So much colour in your pots. I am envious of your overflowing wonderful flowers.
You have very nice flowers. The lantana we planted a few weeks ago just died. WE can't grow lantana for some reason, even though they say it's a hardy plant.
Worth a Thousand Words
I would give a lot to be able to take off on that NCR trail, or to have one near here and Roger be able to go....he tires out so quickly these days.
Forgot to say I did love all the flower shots, too.
Your flowers are so beautiful!
You spread beauty! Kingfishers are difficult to get a good photo of!
You live in a beautiful world! Envious of your Kingfisher ...they won’t hold still for me. I need to get myself back into the morning walk habit. It’s not hot and humid here and n Oregon, but I see more birds in mornings.
What beautiful summer blooms in your garden.
Your flowers are doing so well and I like that trail.
Oh such delightful flowers Eileen. Your pots are filled with many pretties which makes your deck look so beautiful and beckoning :D) Lovely to read your comments as you walk and I googled Bee Balm... what a lovely plant. Cheers to you xx
Eileen - how blessed you are to have the clematis bloom a second time! I adore the bee balm and the belted kingfisher. Thanks so much for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Thank you for flower tour! So many pretty plants!
You have a lovely yard Eileen, I've always been a great fan of the prolific clematis flowers they are stunning and the dainty ballerina fuchsia is another favourite of mine - bee balm is a new one for me though!
Have a lovely week.

Looks like a beautiful trail with flowing river on a side and flowers bloomed around! Lantana grows here as wild flower to spread widely taking away lot spaces and fuchsia grow in cold weather mountains which I have shot couple of time. Lovely photos and I enjoyed the bench and blooms at your home.
Lovely pics. Nice post!
Love all those flowers!
Morning walks are definitely the way to go to beat the heat - it looks like you have a lovely space to wander in. Also, such beauty & colour found in your garden. Lovely captures.
The bench by the bee balm looks sooooo welcoming!
The mosaics are beautiful, and, the Belted Kingfisher stands out, superb.
Flowers (and garden gnomes) make the very best mosaics.
Beautiful flowers you have and the green trail looks so inviting to hike!
Beautiful floral shots ~ divine colors and love the Kingfisher ^_^
Happy Day to you,

Wow! So beautiful pictures!
Hi Eileen!
Men så trevligt med blombilder och för en gångs skull är det bekanta växter, jag brukar ju inte känna igen de fågelbilder du visar för de flesta finns inte här men växterna, de känner jag igen.
your flowers are gorgeous, i hope they faired well in the storm. i didn't have any fatalities!!
the trail looks beautiful, how nice that someone lined it with flags. awesome capture of the kingfisher!!!
Your flowers are gorgeous and so is that belted Kingfisher. I don't think I have ever seen one so that pleasure is yet to come. Thank you for sharing all these great photos Eileen, enjoy the rest of your week :)
I'm not sure if my earlier comment came through, because we lost internet for a short while?
This is such a lovely post, your flowers look amazing, so colourful.
I always enjoy your mosaics especially nice to see the sweet gnome.
All the best Jan
Eileen, you always have such wonderful floral and bird photos. What an eye!
Your flowers are gorgeous, Eileen. I could simply on your porch. I'd be happy to water them for you when it's not raining. :-)
Your flowers are really lovely! Fuchsia's are a favorite of mine. I had them in Alaska. There they are a different variety that you can winter over for the next year. I hated to give them away, but I traded it in for flowers like yours and birds too.
Wow! There are many beautiful flowers. Your yard looks like a botanical garden. have nice days!
that looks like a lovely place to walk and great view of the kingfisher
We have some Rails to Trails paths near us - they are so nice. Love your picture of the Kingfisher!
The kingfisher particularly stands out.
