its official.  my current flower fancy is the mum.  i particularly love the cute little bright green ones.  fluffy and a splash of bold color - whats not to love?  especially when paired with hot pink (what a surprise) gerberas.  makes ya wanna smile, huh?  :-)

swatch: pinnacles

Took a day trip up to Pinnacles National Monument over labor day weekend.  I was reminded of how many great textures can be found in nature.  A few of my shots are shown here.  Love how the neutral palette showcases the patterns and characteristics of the surface....
