better day. i got up and spent some garden time, which is my time to pray and find a meaning for the day. i love morning!
anyway, today i just sat and stared at the beautiful little "stray" flower that somehow popped up in my garden. i noticed it earlier, but i have no idea what it is, i think i saw somewhere that it might be wild hibiscus, or wild cotton. but where did it come from?
the thing that is drop-dead COOL is the seed pod. it's like one of those rice paper lanterns you buy at pier one, only translucent and so very very neat. The pods are pretty small, maybe 5/8" for the big ones, but they are very long lasting - i really plan to save some of that seed, hopefully can have a whole bunch of this next year! The flower is pretty too, today there was not one in full bloom so you cannot really see how pretty it is.

Your photos always look SO good! What kind of digital camera do you have? And how do you shoot so close-up?
Did you take lessons from the king of flower photography :-) From where I sit, it looks like you got him beat!
ha ha ha.
you know, i bought a camera at shopko :)) but it has a really lame zoom on it! i need a bigger one, but then i sort of become a little too much like the king, if you know what i mean :))
