The graceful curves and delicate shading of pink across the spathe of this anthurium variety versus the geometric precision of the little bumps on the spadix caught my eye. Found in the Palm room of the Lincoln Park Botanical Garden.
From the Antherium Hawaii website:
In summary, the anthurium flower consists of the following parts. The spathe, which everyone calls a flower, but which is actually just a glorified leaf; the spadix, which is the actual flower; and the stigma and stamen, which are the female and male parts of the flower that appear as tiny bumps.

Enjoy your Friday, my friends, and welcome these "pesky weeds"! Thanks for looking in!
Made it to Arches National Park in May of 2013 as the last stop of a road trip. I was looking forward to capturing the bright orange sunset colors reflecting off the arch but to my disappointment, the clouds didn't allow that. Still, I got to experience Delicate Arch and it was more than worth it! The wind didn't let up at all, but it was still amazing. As disappointed about the clouds that I was, I realized that unexpected weather is just a part of photography and honestly the misses make the "perfect" captures that much sweeter.
This shot is of a gerbera that had just made it home... She was still on a pot when I shot this; and planted it a few days later... :-) she was a nice model... ;-)
The Spider's Web
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.

This pink rose was in the same bouquet as the red ones and I had loads of fun with them. I'm having to use a few archive photos lately, as I haven't had time to take anything new (or worth putting on flickr).
the texture is called susurrus by vintage findings www.flickr.com/photos/vintagefindings/8221497851/
thank you for looking and for your comments and faves, always appreciated :)
Have a lovely Tuesday :)
This is the Lower Cany Creek Falls' delicate little sister falls. It is a smaller fall just to the left of the larger fall. This was taken on a recnt outing with kwsanders, bamawester and nailbender.

Reeds at water’s edge provided some nice bokeh for these thistles that are already going to seed.
