Snapdragons
Messing around whilst it rained outside. Filled a seed tray with
soil and stuck some snapdragon flowers in. Nothing better to do !! Really I need seeing to. You like this or hate it. Will be interesting to see.

Oh yes, the crowd at Ascot with their new hats. This is great John. Must be raining a lot across the pond with all these creations being posted.

Love the colors and the detail John. I'd have this on my wall in a split second. Glad you enjoyed your play.

John:
Frame filling eye candies.

Glad to know that I am not alone with fiddling...my wife says that I play with the flowers more than I take photos of them with my ikebana, scan, x-ray etc.

I like this, John! Wonderful variety of colors which you have intermixed in a pleasing way. I agree this would make an interesting poster. Always loved making these flowers "talk" when I was a kid. To be honest, I still can't resist squeezing the "mouth" open when I see one of these.
