I love the colors in this photo. Today I discovered another time-sink on the Internet, the Color Palette tool available at bighugelabs.com.

Results from different photos are strikingly different.

I don't have many daylilies in my garden, but I do love seeing them in others' gardens. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting so warmly.
ReplyDeleteYour own blog is charming.

stickers or rubber stamps! (Although I do love rubber stamps . .. June
