The flowers are fake, but my photo is definitely real. When I walk around with my camera, in places that one might suspect are devoid of photo subjects, I always seem to find something interesting to capture digitally. Maybe it’s luck…maybe not.

Winter Cabbage
With the unusual warm weather we are having this year across the United States (less Alaska which is way below normal) I felt these two photos of winter cabbage growing in a pot next to a doorway made for a pretty photo. Not sure of you can eat it but it’s sure nice to look at.
Still Hanging On…
These somewhat poor looking daisies are still hanging on close to our home. The unusually warm weather we’ve been having is responsible. When I was a kid growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, we used to call these flowers, “She-loves-me-she-loves-me-not.” Anyone else remember that? I always got “she loves me not.”
Red on White
Where’s the “red” you ask? It’s the small berries on this holly bush that caught my eye, up against the white brick wall on a building in Martinsville city.
Sometimes, if you take the time to look, you might see small things that are positioned inside a much larger setting…details which are often missed. Many today are so rushed to “see it all as fast as they can”, that they miss lots of things sitting in plain view right before them. Slow down is my message.
Last Flowers of Summer
Thanks to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, there are still some flowers blooming along the highway. This was an especially beautiful batch, and I’ve been passing it for weeks as I drive back and forth to Greensboro, shopping and whatnot. So, last week I stopped alongside the road and made the image you see here. I had to crouch way down to get the highway out of the frame. I also wanted the single flower in the center, highlighted by the sky. Nikon P7100 camera.
Blue Ridge Butterfly
Saw these wild flowers at about 3700 feet elevation along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. Butterflies made the scene even better!
