A brilliant yellow rose from Angela's rose garden!

Sweet gum leaves in the fall at the county park. Beautiful dual colors.

Doesn't this one make you wanna smile? Apple trees in bloom at the county park. With all of this cold weather I thought I'd post this to help warm you up a bit.

Twin zennias posing for the camera. Right after this photo session their agent called asking for more points!

Some good ol' blackberries on an overcast day. That's crown vetch being pink in the background.

I love this image. It's so clean and wholesome. It's like Mary Lou Retton or Kelloggs Breakfast Cereal. My friend Doris used to always exclaim "Great Day in the Morning!". I think this is it.

Three different stages of butterflyweed and a couple of buzzy visitors!

Butterflyweed... it's not just for butterflies.

This spider went all out for Christmas. Lights, wreath, dancing elves. Even synched the display to music! Actually it's cotoneaster berries ripening just behind the web. Dedicated to my friend Monica who has a penchant for all things spider.

Gorgeous maya waterlily in our most recent pond. The sparkles are not a filter. It really is the sun glistening on the water. Thanks to Jennifer at Custom Aquatic for the consistantly beautiful plants and fantastic fish!

The ol' swimmin' hole by the iron bridge over Sugar Creek. All we need now is a rope hangin' from a tree!
