Good morning, Dan, and thanks. I’m enjoying seeing the color, as we’re inundated with piles of the white stuff this morning and it’s still snowing. We’re getting what I hope is the last big storm of the year, but it’s certainly beautiful outside!!
I understand the need for color. It looks like that storm is going to bring us a bunch of rain. I think we have several storms yet to come, but I hope you’re right.
As it’s only the beginning of February, we could well get more, Dan. I don’t even really mind, as long as it’s snow and not masses of rain. In winter, I much prefer snow.
An explosion of purple and gold, just in time for Mardi Gras. This is well composed and exposed, Janet, with just the right amount of saturation. A fitting cover for a gift card or a church bulletin.

The back petal almost looks like fabric. Very nice photo.

I agree. The storm that is working its way east will likely fall as rain here in CT. I’m not looking forward to that.
Gorgeous! I am always amazed at the intricacy of God’s creation.
I am, too, Robin. 🙂 He does amazing work.

Love the variation of colour and texture in this Janet. Happy weekend. 🙂
Thanks, Su. I’m looking forward to a wonderful weekend. We’re having a big snowstorm. 🙂 It’s gorgeous!
Much more beautiful than the tropical cyclone we’re expecting.
Stunning! yes, we go chasing rainbows and exotic experiences, when all along they’re often tucked right under our noses!
One of the things I love about macro photography is seeing the beauty in the small and very small things. It’s everywhere.

There is a lot going on there for the inside of one flower — textures, colors, and brightness too. Thanks for the sparky glimpse, Janet.
You’re welcome, Jet. Glad you enjoyed it.
thanks for this pop of color – extra appreciated in winter
My pleasure. I did it as much for me as for all of you. 🙂 The bright color is so happy-making.

Lovely close up of the beard!
Thanks, Deborah.
