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.
Time well spent and wonderful shots to share! I love the sun filtering through the palm leaf!

ReplyDeleteThe individual leaves (fronds?) of the palm leaf branch are almost perfect !
ReplyDeleteWhenever you post flower close-ups, I comment on how good you are with macros, something I just can't do.
