Grape & Green
It was rainy all day, but the sun poked through and provided some nice light towards dusk.

Those are some very unusual and really beautiful flowers Tim. What are they?

Glad you were able to take advantage of some afternoon light.

Great conditions and a fine comp Tim. These are some very fun flowers for sure!

Sorry - forgot the description on this one. These are grape hyacinths and they're growing in my yard. Hardly wild, but definitely waterlogged.

Very neat shot Tim, sometimes beauty is in our own backyard.

Hey Tim, I bet these would look great in black and white, ha, ha! (actually they probably would)

Nice backyard find. Well composed and great compliment of colors.

Tim: You bet it looks good in b&w! Who needs that pesky color anyway? Oh, and by the way, this announcement might interest you (if you need to dump your camera in favor of this new model, let me know - I'd be glad to take it off your hands!). :biggrin:

I wonder if Wal Mart will stock them?

There's a good bunch of these just up the street I've been trying to get but the light hasn't been right yet. You've done very well by these.

Beautiful flowers; I had them in my old yard but not in this yard, but I should plant some :)

Good job on this one Tim. I really like the colors.
