I love taking macro shots of my favorite flowers.  My Flickr friend tells me this is a Parrot Tulip.  I guess tulips, roses, and poppies are my favorite flowers, not to mention dahlias. .  . I could go on and on! :-)

On Fire

Roses bring beauty and joy to our lives. I discovered this rose while I was on a recent photo shoot at Luther Burbank Gardens in Santa Rosa,CA.

Heart Song

Spanish Lavender

Profusion of supple color saluting the sun

Encapsulated perfume

Waiting to be celebrated

We visited the Ninth Street Rookery yesterday and viewed a variety of beautiful birds nesting in the Eucalyptus trees. . .amazing experience. I took some photos and wrote a poem. A telephoto lens would have been helpful, so I will put it on my wish list.

Snowy Egret

A flash of white feathers

Soaring toward the Eucalyptus branches

Hoping for a soft landing

A cacophony of avian voices

Dissonant chords, permeating the air

Cries of esurient nesting chicks abound
