Was walking through the Houston Arboretum over the weekend and found this hibiscus all by itself in a shaded spot. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Anita

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
I like that you chose to shoot this pretty in the shadows. It gives it a different perspective. Very nice work Anita,.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Love the shadow play. Very appealing.

Beautiful shot. Like the light and shadow in the picture. Excellent work.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
Very pretty flower Anita - makes a lovely photograph with the shadows and light playing on its petals! Patti

Very nice shot. You couldn't have staged the lighting any better than that. Well done.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Just beautifull, and pleasing on the eye, the image runs fluidly into the dark on the right, very well taken.

My first instint was "not enough light." But after I enlarged to full-screen, I changed my mind. I Iike the shadows in this instance. It's like a hidden treasure. I like that angle as well. Nice shot with good contrast despite the poor lighting. Very pretty. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present! My gallery.
BEAUTIFUL!!! I love this shot Anita. I love the colors, the shade, the light, the whole thing. Amazing photo. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

This is one of the most peaceful images that I have seen in along time Anita. I can almost feel the moisture and the humidity in the air as this hibiscus lounges in the shade and just shows off!! Good eye for a good capture my friend.
Thanks for the warm words on ~lurking~. I couldn't believe that this hawk stayed long enough for me to get a shot off with my camera. Usually they are gone in a few seconds, especially when they suspect someone is looking. I hope you enjoy looking at him on your desktop.....that is quite an honor for me. Thanks again for stopping by!

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
