This was my teaser shot from yesterday's
post. It is a picture of one of the photos I will be posting here today. Mom and I went to a horticulture park that is located just down the road from where I work. Mom and I love this place because we find something new each time we go to take pictures. Yesterday morning it started out a little overcast and nice and then WHAM, the sun came out and the sweat was a pouring off of both of us. It was worth it for some of the pictures we got.
I am going to share some photos that mom took and some photos I took. Now, don't panic, we aren't going to bore you to death with all the photos. We are going to show you five or six pictures that each of us took. So, on with the picture show:
Mom's photos:

This reminded us of some sort of plant from Avatar |

Looks like something from another universe |
|
We loved the white with a pop of red |

I won't even tell you what mom and I see in this picture :) |

Mom and I liked this one because of the contrast of the yellow and green |
The pictures I took:

Mom and I loved the center of this flower - just unreal what you can see |
|
We loved the different colors in just this one flower |
|
Got to love Blogger because it flipped this photo - but still love
the look of the buds on this Garden Phlox |

Just wood bark on some sort of bush that I loved the texture of |

Mom and I loved the color of this flower and the stamens |

I Heart Macro, head over to
Waterstone Studio. It is a lot of fun to play and see what everyone else is taking pictures of.
I am off to go to work today because we are testing our upgrade system before it goes live tomorrow. I then hope to help mom finish filing and sanding the pieces that need enameled and I have a bunch of beads that need to be cleaned. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! Oh, if you participated in our
Facebook giveaway you might want to head over there and see if your name was drawn for the "Peace Sign" earrings.
I love what looks like a Purple Cone Flower or Echinacea, I never realized it had those little tiny star shaped bits running around near the edge!! And the one underneath with pinks and lime and a magenta center, gorgeous!!
