Communing with Nature


I did make it outdoors on Sunday to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and to do a little communing with nature.  I took a long walk at the Desert Botanical Garden where I found this lovely white datura bloom.  It's looking pretty good with those splotches of red flowers behind it.


The honey bees were busy as usual.


And the bright sun shining on this palm leaf was making it hard to resist.  I was hoping we were headed into fall weather but, the reports say it's heating up again later this week.

  6. Botanic Gardens are the best aren't they Sharon, especially if you can get there early, cooler and before the crowds! Always love your shots from there!

  12. Whenever you post flower close-ups, I comment on how good you are with macros, something I just can't do.
