Summer Flowers

We don't have many flowers in our yard as the deer seem to love eating them. We go to the expense and time to plant and take care of them only to get up one morning and find them all gone. It's very disappointing, so we have learned to be selective and only plant a few. While I had a few blooming I took the opportunity to take a few pictures. Between the bad weather, the deer, us being gone, and the slugs, I consider myself lucky to have this many  flowers that are still blooming. Sometimes you just can't fight nature!
