The Usual Suspects

It's been so dreary and depressing, rainy and cold the last couple of days, so I decided to dip back into the bin of colorful spring flowers I found down south on Mother's Day. I won't do my usual lament about posting what everyone else is, cause they're flowers, and they're all special, aren't they? As different as the patterns of snowflakes...as different as we all are, yet the same. I hope you enjoy this one and revel in the boldness of the splash of spring! :)PJ

Nice work PJ. The flowers look great and I really like the photo looking frame with the lifted edges and shadows.

I may be feeling a little Spacey tonight and I know I am no Keyser Söze; but I really like this flower.

I think your flower is blushing from all the attention she is receiving.

Good post PJ and be careful at the pier. That was pretty limp I know. Have a good evening.

Lovely flowers to bring you a bit of Joy in such dreary weather. I think you should send in a written complaint to the National Weather Service. It is not fair, you have a right to a bit of sunshine in May.

Nice contrast with that bright bunch in the middle foreground and the rest in the backround. Framed very nicely also.

My monitor must be over heating. It's making the edges of your picture curl. LOL. Well, PJ, This is a very nice foofy picture. Even though I must admit that pink is not really my favorite color, I know that to others it probably is. But be that as it may, my color preference takes nothing away from the beauty of your shot....AND...since green IS my favorite color, and there are some green leaves in there too, then I applaud your work. My compliments to the photographer....YOU.
