Xmas in October: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge, 10/28/15
Xmas in October (Umbrella Plant and Bougainvillea)
The combination of the white and green star-shaped blooms on the umbrella plant combined with the red bougainvillea create a Xmas scene even before Halloween–which is echoed by the Xmas decorations already being displayed next to the Halloween costumes in Walmart in Ajijic. Holiday madness has made it even to Mexico. Sigh.

Spotted Iris with Visitor
I didn’t even see the visitor in this photo until I started cropping. Can you see it?

Nosegay: Cee’s Flower A Day Challenge 10/12/15
Nosegay
Where did I find this nosegay? Not real, but pretty?
On this sugar skull made by one of the few kids who braved the threat of the weather to come to the sull decorating yesterday. The afternoon session was cancelled, schools shut down and I was advised by Proteccion Civil to leave my house as they feared landslides. I’m back in my house after a big and frustrating adventure which I am about to write about.

Zinnia Zoom: Flower of the Day, 10/18/15
Zinnia Zoom
I am constantly amazed by what happens as I zoom in on a flower. There is an entire new world revealed at each stage of the zoom! In this way, a flower is a good parallel to everything. The closer we look, the more complex everything is revealed to be. This is why I like poetry. It is the microbiology of words.

“Brokedown” Zinnia: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge,10/13/15
“Brokedown” Zinnia
I don’t know why this “brokedown” zinnia appeals to me so much, but it does. It looks like it took a bite out of this little berry hanging over its shoulder a week or so ago and then just let it hang!

I love this shy little wallflower, so I’m going to let her be the star in this late post.

Bleached Hibiscus: Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Bleached Hibiscus
I can’t compete with that deep red, Cee, so I’m going in the opposite direction. Here is an hibiscus with the color drained out of it. I would love to have one that was really this color! (Or lack of color.)
I was given this flower today so want to share it. See: http://ceenphotography.com/2015/10/07/flower-of-the-day-october-7-2015-hibiscus-for-judy/
Heavenly Hibiscus:Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge
Heavenly Hibiscus
I found this gorgeous hibiscus outside the Casa del Sol B&B in Ajijic. I’ve been there twice in the past week for a Feria fashion show and then for a board meeting. I broke my vow to never again attend a board meeting when I moved to Mexico! Finally, after 14 years, I went to the Feria board meeting to find out what my duties as “coordinator of artist gifts” will be. (I’m not sure that is my title, but yeah, I caved for this very good cause. I’ll give you more information later.) It you love Mexican art (and if you live north of the border, you’ve never really seen the “real” stuff done by artists and artisans who continue centuries old traditions) you would love the Feria de Maestros del Arte! But more about that later.
