The Chicago Botanical Garden is a haven for photographers like me. The spring flowers are simply gorgeous

I love how the light is reflected by the yellow tulips on the center.

These resemble already decorated Christmas trees. So decadent.

One red among the whites...

And bits of color peaking through...

What a nice way to experience spring.

I love to crop tightly on a subject. These cactus grow near the pool. They are so many shades of green and so many textures from rough to smooth with thorny thorns in between. I love how they subtly remind you to stay away. No drama queens here.  LOL

Business Attire

My girl came to the desert to hang out with her mom. AWWWW! But she had work to do. You gotta love today's work ways. Tanning then internet, tanning then conference call, tanning then email, tanning then wine with mom. Yeah Baby! 

Reflections-They're Just That

Another post processed image...whatever! 

It pops the color and renders it artful. 

I'm in! 

What are These Flowers?

I find these flowers fascinating. Their beginnings resemble raspberries.

Their middle life is a delicate flower. Go figure. It reminds me for sure that God is in charge!

Room With a View

The view from my kitchen window is stupendous. Except that it inhibits anything getting done all day. It is calming. It is fun to watch golfers try to hit the green. It is interesting to see egrets and pelicans--I might be wrong on that and must ask Janey in the fall--vie for the best spot on the pond. And it is very nice to watch the sun set on the Chocolate Mountains in the evening. OMG! does it get any better than this.

Got Game?

I love this image. I only wish I would have found someone to take my photo sitting in that stool. I love tennis and have played the game for 35 years. Still do and love it to bits. I found this graphic on the doors at the Indian Well Tennis tourney, which is another whole realm of fun. Go Azarenko!
