A Perfect Bouquet

Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 24, 2010731 views10 comments

There are just not enough flora images on this 10 year tribute. So I will submit this one as a tribute to Bill Fach who is the outstanding moderator of, in his words, "the finest flora gallery on the planet." And he's right, and he is a large part of why.

The image is of Indian Paintbrush growing in what is the finest example of a natural bouqet I have ever seen. I also liked the three crosses within the bunch. It also earned me an EP which I continue to be proud of.

Morris, I really like how this grouping fills the frame so nicely. The Paintbrush are always a wonderful subject too.

Morris,

A beautiful bouquet in indeed. I think the natural vignetting really works to set off this floral display.

I remember this one Morris and I'd agree with Bill - as fine a paintbrush as I've seen. Beautiful...

Morris, I remember this image and always will. Absolutely gorgeous and up-lifting; the three crosses mean so very much. Stunning art.
