The Early Bird

What they don't tell you about the Early Bird is that the worm is often late. 

Juxtapositioning

That's a weird word, isn't it? 

I thought these gorgeous pink flowers made a statement next to the interesting scratches and striations on the pale gray rock. 

Shades of an iris

It's rare that I do black and white photos because colors attract my eye much more than lines do, but I thought this purple iris looked amazing in black and white. What do you think?

Awkward cute

At a recent trip to the Turtle Back Zoo, I got some lovely face time with this amazing face. 

The interesting thing about giraffes is they tend to be socially awkward, as you can see by the position this little guy is in.

Tangerine sherbet

The color of these reminds me of sherbet.

True Violet

Intense color - they look like if they were red they would be poppies. 

Dark Polka

I love polka-dot plants. They're easy to grow and colorful. These, with a little help, have become something spectacular - from Deep Cut Gardens.
