Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. While the growing season is short in Alaska, the long hours of sunlight are favorable to flowers. The begonia blooms were the size of a human hand. Enjoy this Friday Foofy!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I have to second that red is not an easy color to capture... but this is just plain gorgeous and spot on with the saturation and clarity. Sweetly done, Thad!

Thad I have to tell you that when I clicked onto your flower it was an OMG! moment. This has to be the best and most beautiful foofy I have ever seen on Caedes. If someone had not beat me to it I would have nominated it myself for the AC, I had to settle for a fave instead.
