I picked this out as my first choice in a flash! It stopped me in my tracks. It is simply perfect. Every thing about it is perfect! It gives me the most wonderful feeling of serenity.

Thanks for the kind words. It's one of several in a couple of series shot over a few days. Honestly, I was so pressed for time at the end of the contest that I picked one rather randomly and posted it. Perhaps there are others that are a little better in the series. If you want to send me a treemail, I'll email you a higher res version.

Somehow, those blossoms really resonated with that fossil rock and the light stayed right. It's one of my favorite sets of the summer, too.

This just jumped out at me too. The colors are so fantastic!

Asa, what is that plant. The photo is intriguing. Love it.
