Petals off of a plant at the Mahogany Hammock Trail in the Everglades.

Feel the softness of this rose just by looking.

Another pretty weed growing in my back yard, when I look at the petals, they appear to have giggling faces, with their tongues sticking out.

Top petal is from the rose "Fourth of July." Bottom petal is from a rock rose.

This time every year everything in the front garden is covered with cherry blossom from a street tree. Every year I think it would be fun to take a picture of the trail of pink "confetti" blowing off the car as I drive away. Have never yet been sufficiently organised to do this though.

this is the filament that remains after the petals have died

This is a very close/macro shot of a tropical flower highlighting the edge of the petal. It was taken on the wonderful island of Kauai.

...just another "wind-down-photo".

I bought some really cute new shirts for Petal and Penelope on Etsy and they arrived today! Just a quick, and quite crappy, photo of them enjoying their new duds. ;)
