Stood out.
This coneflower really stood out against the green background.
Working.
Looking out the window, I saw a butterfly working the coneflowers. By the time I picked up the camera and went outside to photograph it, it had moved on. A honeybee working the same bunch of coneflowers made for a very acceptable subject.
Bright and cheerful.
Seeing this nasturtium flower made for a bright and cheerful start to my day.
Pretty.
Captured these blooms in an untended area at my workplace. Haven’t yet determined what the plant is – thinking a wild pea or other legume. Whatever, they are quite pretty.
Blessed and grateful.
The hibiscus is still throwing off blooms. With low temperatures in the single digits and highs barely reaching 20 by the weekend, it may be nearing the end of bloom season.
Nonetheless, I am blessed and grateful that it’s doing so well.
Cheerful.
A sunflower is such a cheerful thing. This one is in the front yard.
Crystalline.
African violet flowers have an almost crystalline quality. This one occupies space on a shelf above the kitchen sink, where it gets morning sun and some humidity.
Still looked lovely.
Even after the first frost and the first hard freeze of the season, this Johnny Jump-up flower still looked lovely.
Harvests.
