    Jack go to bed by noon...what a mouth full. And your mouth would be full if you ate it because that's a huge flower. LOL. :)

    But really what a pretty plant! So foreign to this Kansas girl.

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
