I really enjoy taking photos of flowers and plants. The more colorful, the better. Close-ups also work great. You can click on any photo to view them in a slideshow format, in larger size. To find the original post featuring each photo, just type the photo caption in the Search box located in the left sidebar on this page.
Many of my photos are available for sale in a variety of formats and media on my Zazzle online store .
I also invite you to subscribe to this site to receive new posts and photos as I add them (again, the Subscribe link is in the left sidebar).
