Rich Fall Colors come out in this aggressive looking little bloom.

Red is typically a difficult color to shoot for me. But the incredibly rich color of this complex and beautiful rose speaks loudly for itself.

The color of this flower was more white than pictured. A little green light from the front gives it more of a "minty," color.

Spring is here after a long drab winter happy to see the beauties in the gardens. Have a wonderful day!

My life

You electrify my life

Let's conspire to ignite

All the souls that would die just to feel alive

Now I'll never let you go

If you promised not to fade away

Never fade away

Hello! I appreciate your support. I hope you have a great day!

I love the crystal white of this flower and stamen is such an intricate and interesting focal point.

Love the geometry of this flower.

Part of a series of dried flowers I am working on. Just three roses past their prime.

Found this one on the edge of a leaf of a small pink dogwood tree near the local gardens in our park area.
