I watched this flower explode into full bloom over a couple of days' time - the yellow juxtaposed with the rich brown of the earlier blooming (and now spent) plant made me happy.

As well it should make you happy, Terri...you've done a very nice job of capturing a sunny color on such a sunny day with NO overexposure at all that I can see and your composition is as excellent as your color presentation :)
The yellow of the flower is just breathtaking in its own simple way. It isn't blinding at all, and has a cheery nature that contrasts the fresh green behind it perfectly. Nice shot!

Hey tlg, Terri (finally got to know your name)
beautiful plants exploding into beautiful flowers makes me happy too,
Great job, as others have said, good composition.
What a great sharp shot. I really like the diagonals coming from the rifht of the frame. Seems to put the flower out even further. Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
