Take a look at the intricate lines and patterns that make up the wings of a dragonfly. No wonder this is the fastest flying insect in the world.

The leaves of the bloodleaf plant (Iresine herbstii) display some beautiful lines all across.

Floral Friday Fotos: lotus flower and lotus seed head

Today I’m participating in Floral Friday Fotos. Remember you can click on the photos below to see them in a larger format. If you enjoy my images, I encourage you to subscribe and receive updates when I post new photos, usually 3 to 5 times a week.

This is the first time I’ve photographed lotus flowers. They were standing next to the water lilies in the pond but definitely look different with their much taller stems. The light was quite challenging that day, especially when it came to photographing mostly white petals.

I love this next shot, which shows what a lotus seed head looks like once the petals come off. If you look inside the flower, you can see the seed area in an earlier stage. Pretty cool flowers!

A Word A Week Challenge: Arch

Today I’m participating in the A Word A Week Challenge. This week’s theme is “arch”. I encourage you to click on each photo to see a larger view. If you like what you see, please subscribe to this blog to receive updates of the new photos I post, usually 3 to 5 times a week.

I’ve been waiting for an appropriate photo challenge theme to feature the photos below, and I think arch is just perfect. I love the tall pink grass with its lovely seeds and how they swing gently in the breeze. They get so tall they arch down from the weight. They ‘re a challenge to photograph because the background isn’t always what I want, but I love their pink color and the many arches they create. This type of grass is technically called Pennisetum setaceum ‘Fireworks’ (Variegated Purple Fountain Grass).

Just in time for the fall season, here’s some colorful sumac tree foliage. With a beautiful bright blue sky as the complimentary background, this photo is very multicolored.

I love the bright red berries of the Cotoneaster Lacteus contrasting with the bush’s green and crimson leaves.

This bright orange protea pincushion flower enjoys the company of purple lavender, green leafed trees and a California blue sky in the background.

I’m not sure what these flowers are called (some type of iceplant blooms) but I love how the petals change colors from one end to the other.

If you’re ever wondered what a multicolored rose looks like, here it is.

I love this purple and yellow lily. Two beautiful colors right next to each other.

And now for the last photo, here are the coolest multicolored fireworks I saw this year for the 4th of July.

Check out these artificial grass blades inside this bubble. Some actually went through all the way to the other side and still that bubble didn’t pop.

Here’s a blue damselfly locked inside my house, longing to get out. It wasn’t very helpful in its release, but I still managed to get it back outside.
