This very same flower popped up in the exact same place, as a year prior. Again however, I'll mower the little monster right down.

Up close ... very, very cool.

Keeping from being stung was a real challenge that day.

With the new camera I was like a kid in a candy store, except I was a woman with her head in a flower case.

Who'd a thunk a dandelion could be so bloody beautiful?

One of the 1st shots taken with the D40; at the grocery store 0330 Hrs.

This little guy stayed still just long enough.

Not yet ready to bloom

Always reminded me of a beaten egg.

I found beauty in a late night snack while working. Thanks for the lunch Richard Lee.

One of my spring Tulips just after a morning rainshower.

A lovely addition to the array of dead leaves in the backyard.

In the garden of Cameron Regional Medical Center, sits this little pond.

You could almost hear them work to soak up every ouce of sunshine.

We were under a tornado warning and I was out in the yard taking pictures.

Even dead dandelions interest me.

Staying away from the bees, that was the trick.

I stuck the lense right in the flower & pulled the trigger.

I loved the weeds.

Up close in my friend Nancy's flower garden.

After I shot it ... I ate it.

I shot this around 0600, before it completely opened.

I couldn't believe I was taking pictures of weeds. Yet, there I was.

I got up around 0530 to catch this shot, before the rose actually opened.

Just before it rained. Again. Nancy's front yard.

Blooming in Nancy's yard.

This little guy kept trying to sting me. Go figure.

Some flowers I gave my wife recently.

Simple pink roses I bought for my wife.

I don't know why I'm so partial to these common red flowers, but I am. I've no idea what they're actually called, as I'm not a florist. I just know I like them.

Different flower, same kind, same place.

These are another, extremely common flower you see around here. I couldn't care less. I dig them completely.

Notice the water beads on the leaf behind the flower?

Even closer. I loved this flower, although you probably couldn't tell.

Water Beading up on the leaf of a perepheral plant.

This cropped up over night in my yard.

I hated to mow it down ... yet that's exactly what I did.

OCTOBER!

A simple flower from my mother inlaw's garden.

Another gen from my mother inlaw's garden.

From my own front yard!
