Default Fabulous Florals and some Foxtails...

I know we see a lot of flowers but I never get tired of seeing them or taking them. I hope you agree and enjoy. Just some shots from the past few days...

The Sacred Datura:

I think this is a white dahlia (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, please):

I don't know what this one is, I just liked the orange:

Orange Flower

I know this is not a flower and may not be pretty to most people. In fact this is a nuisance to most being they are most uncomfortable stuck in ones socks but I really like the look of this converted to b&w.

Have a great Father's Day weekend to all!

Glad you all liked them! The first and last are my personal favs of these four. I was really surprised by the first one. I just thought they were kind of ugly from afar but got a whole new appreciation for them up close. Thank you all very much!
