Dad has been practicing with the camera.

Hostas

The bluey green hosta is called "June"(no sarcastic comments please).

Crocosmia

The red flower is Crocosmia "lucifer"

Dads seat

Dads favourite place on a summers day

Hemerocallis

Hemerocallis, a day lily, 24hours in flower then it dies.

Hope you enjoyed Dads' attempt at photography!

What a beautiful garden! I hate to mention that the last picture seems a teensy bit out of focus, but never mind, he can have another shot at it next year!

It's understandable that a great gardener like your dad wants to capture the flowers on camera. Good for him! I'm sending him a virtual hug (( ))
and one for you too (( ))

So very lovely. Tell your dad.

We have England weather again today. Grey. Rain. At least it's warm though.
