More Miscellaneous Photos from Here and There

Some photos from Balducci Vineyard, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and my backyard garden.

 

These three photos of bird houses were taken at Balducci Vineyards; one of many wineries along the Missouri River between Hermann, Missouri and, about fifty miles to the east, Defiance, Missouri.  There were about a half dozen birdhouses around with most looking like this one but a couple were a bit smaller.

 

 

 

I’ve no idea what this flower from the Missouri Botanical Garden is.  It reminds me of a roadside weed common in the Midwest – thistle.

 

 

The rest of these photos are from my backyard garden.  I think this is a yellow or gold cosmos.

 

 

 

I don’t know what this is but it might be the start of a white cosmos.  My garden is small (8.5 feet x 7.5 feet), you think I’d be able to remember what I was growing just a year ago.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by.

The birdhouse photos were taken with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 24-85mm zoom lens, for all others the Sigma 105mm macro lens was used.
