While in Arizona over Thanksgiving06, the flowers were still blooming and beautiful. So, on this dreary day in Houston, I'm sending sunshine to you all with this hibiscus. Thanks for coming by and taking a peek. Anita

Like Bob, my knees are not working very well this morning although they were fine when I went to bed - must be the weather. It's another dreary day here in Lake Villa and I really miss the sunshine of spring and summer, and the warmth that I assume you are enjoying there in Houston. The hibiscus is beautiful and hope it will be a harbinger of more sunny weather for all of us...........Neil

Another nice and warm shot. The sun is finally shining here in Grand Junction and the temp just got to 30. And with this on my desktop, make the temp raise up even more. Thanks again Anita. ;-)

I believe that the High Biscuit (as I call them) when seen in those huge bushes that you see in Phoenix are the epitome of flowerdom...well, except for roses, and snapdragons, and begonia, and lupines, and sunflowers, and........
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Sunshine for any day (Wednesday evening here :) )
A most splendid shot - the colour is sublime and so very warm. The uncluttered background is just right.
