Nice foxglove, twsod! I like close-up shots, it makes you notice things, like the patterning inside the bells. I was surprised with the blackberry pic I took when I saw how each drupelet had a nice hair coming off it. Somehow, although I knew blackberries had little hairs, I never really saw how they were arranged.

I like the blue pentagon flower.

These are from my lakehouse in East Texas.

These are tung nuts, which comes from a tung tree, which comes from China. They're used for making tung oil, which has various uses. Hurricane Rita blew it down. I might scan in some pictures from right after Rita passed through.

A lily from the small graveyard on the property.

Two trees overgrown with old man's beard.

A 'field' of lily pads.

Sorry about forcing people to scroll to see the pictures. I'll change them to links if it really annoys anyone.

I have tomato plants making tomatos! They survived the hailstorm.

Plus, a whole three tiny flowers have grown back out from the hail-thrashed plot.
