Default Flowers and more flowers

Well, at least it not my dogs. I was looking for some thing to shoot today and realized my hibiscus is still going strong so your stuck with more of those today. Of course, it's in the 70's today and I keep thinking it's going to get cold enough to stop the blooms. They just keep blooming away. Sorry to you that are up north.

Hope you enjoyed a little splash of color today. Even tho it's warm it's been a very dreary day. Comments are alway welcome and appreciated.

Oh how gorgeous! I'd forgotten you were in Texas - I saw your reference to 70 degrees & had to do a double check on your location! At least it's been bright & cheery today up north here, not warm, but not cold either! Can't complain. Thanks for your beautiful flowers though.

Thank you! I shouldn't complain cause it's supposed to get cold here later in the week . Well, in the 40's and that's cold to us. LOL

Thanks Glyn. I appear to be addicted. Can't go a day without taking pics of something.

These are all just terrific, Shirley. You have shown every beautiful side of them! What a rich red color. I almost missed these and I'm so glad I didn't!

Very nice, I especially like the perspective of the first and last shots. I find red flowers hard to photograph and get the detail to show, well done you did a great job.
