Just for fun!!! I thought this was a cool juxtaposition - the car and the flower. Think of it what you will, 'it has no rhyme or reason', but.. "Its Wacky Wednesday!!!!"

In the background is my 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Limited Edition (only 2,883 produced) Signature Series. It came in only one color, Victory Red, and had a 3.8L V6 engine with a 4 speed automatic transmission. It wasn't fast, but was fun to drive and was a real head turner. I no longer have this car as I traded it in August 2014.

In the foreground is one of my favorite flowers; Echinacea (cone flower).. with a bee enjoying some nourishing nectar. Enjoy!!!

Good idea to have this fancy car as background Laura. With the single flower lit by the sun in front it "qualifies" for wacky Wednesday. With 3.8L it is not fast? This is what we call here "Benzinschlucker" - meaning petrol drinker!

Laura, it's not honest from you (LOL!!!!!) to let us make a choice whether the car or the cone flower is the finest. It's a comparison between apples and oranges.
I'm just kidding, because I like this creative and artistic composition. Very apt capture for Wacky Wednesday.

Sweet ride and a great looking shot. I love the focus on the foofy, and the light and shadows are very attractive also. Well done, Laura.

That car wasn't fast with that engine? I like the two together Laura - nowadays all the cars look the same to me! Beige or silver - sedan or SUV!

I think "Wild Oats," in the foreground would go better with the car, Laura.
Very creative and I bet you got a lead foot.

Great shot Laura. I like the idea of the flower being in the foreground of this auto - clever and artistic of you.

Shot from a different angle and you could claim to have a bee in your bonnet. :)
A creative capture with a nice DoF and lovely colours.
