Thank goodness for my visit to the botanical gardens. Had it not been for all those photos, I’d be weeks behind on this project. I love when planning ahead works out so well. But no worries, Thursday will be my last day of teaching and I’ll have loads more time on my hands. I only have to worry about my photography classes at night, but that’s nothing compared to my day job! 😀

the color is so beautiful….
Thanks, Dad!
Vibrant purple. Love that color! Yes, planning ahead is always a win. Goodness I have yet to sit dow. Again and post another. Perhaps maybe this week will slow down and I can get i to the swing of things on the blog. 🙂
Can’t wait to see what you post, T! 😀
Look at that purple and so sharply captured :). Beautiful !
Thanks, Sonal. This one was a bit tricky because of its height so I had to take a lot of practice shots before I got a good one. 🙂
The tall shots are always difficult but you clicked it so nicely without creating an artificial back drop.
This flower is gorgeous Patty! Love it! You captured it splendidly!
Thanks, Lori! 😀
This is my favorite color.

Love it, gorgeous vibrant color.
Yes, I love the purple as well, Suzanne!
So pretty, Patty! Love all those tiny little hairs! 🙂
Tiny little flower hairs are my favorite! 😀
My favorite color too. Gorgeous photo as always.
Thanks, Mom!
Ooooooh like jewels

I love that color so much. I wish it was my wallpaper right now. So dreamy. 😀 Your photography skills are enviable. 🙂
Thank you, June! That’s so kind of you to say! 😀
Whoa, your skills are getting a little out of hand. This is stunning! I love the color, wonder where you found this !
San Francisco once again! Yay! But oh the horror, I only have a few photos left from my visit to the gardens. I better start shooting again soon!
WOW! Stunning photo! Love the color!

I’m glad, Dimple! Yay! 😀
Beautiful! Every time I visit your blog, the array of colors and detail alone is a feast for my eyes. I love your eye for beauty and the way you capture it in each shot.
What a lovely compliment, Laura! Made me smile. Thank you. 😀
