I love Coneflowers as well Kathy!! This is a lovely capture and use of Textures. I find the Coneflowers in our Ecology Park, even when dead and falling over - there is always some insect feeding on them. They are lovely and of course their herbal Properties (immunity) when properly processed - help so many. I love this one!!! Your skillful use of the camera makes every image a delight!

Thanks for the lessons, Gail! :)

I have this very tiny rufous who sits out front all day long and guards the one small feeder out there. He is absolutely relentless! I don't kn

This is a cleome, or spider plant.

These adorable goslings are obviously right out of Alice's garden! I found them among an odd assemblage of domestic ducks and geese all waiting

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a butterfly perched on a zinnia! Many thanks to my generous friend Anne for the texture. :)

These flowers really are called popsicles, and butterflies love them!

Flamingos are one of my favorite subjects - so colorful, humorous and dramatic!
