Just flowers

I had so many flower photos it was difficult to choose my favorites. Of course, many of them are not my own due to my tragically brown thumb. Luckily, the neighbors don't mind me skulking around in their gardens.

Lovely, Second Nature. These closeups are beautiful. I especially like the yellow petalled one with the brown center (Rudbeckia? Coneflower?). It just glows.

Re: fOtofair2006 Second Nature ~ flowers (4.00 / 9)

I guess this answers my question about where the flowers were. I am absolutely refuse to pick a favorite, I won't I tell you, I just won't, I can't. But Yellow melted my heart.

Re: fOtofair2006 Second Nature ~ flowers (4.00 / 8)

Re: fOtofair2006 Second Nature ~ flowers (4.00 / 2)

Very very nice. I`ll have to say I`m partial to reflections & waterdrops. You`ve got both in one photo among all the other great photos, so I`m stating categorically that my favorite is the reflecting waterdrop.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.
