Fuchsia
I had run down the street for two blocks in a long beach coverup quickly thrown over my nightgown when I heard the crazy rodeo parade approaching my house at 11 o’clock at night. The night before it had gone on from about 7:30 to at least 2 a.m. when I went to bed. I’d somehow missed it going by when I was dancing at Palapa Joe’s so I didn’t want to miss it tonight. I was walking back home when I spied these little flowers and I kept bending lower to get them in more detail. When I looked up I saw this BIG guy who must have been the cook in the palapa restaurant I was standing in front of, taking the picture. He was sitting in a straight chair in the parking lot—probably out to catch a spare breeze as the night was still hot. “You can see beauty in a single flower?” he asked me. When I nodded my head and said, “Mmhmm,” he just smiled and nodded his head. Such a nice little interchange and nice final human contact for the day.
More about my day will follow.

That’s Just Cheating!
Yes, sure. I’ve done a lot of playing around with this image but I don’t consider that cheating, do you? So what could it be that I’ve done that is slightly unethical?
If it isn’t perfectly obvious from this unedited original shot,
then perhaps it will be in this closeup. Honest, folks, I didn’t notice when I took the original shot. I was working fast and just going up and down the street taking shots of flowers. It wasn’t until I got into the eidting phase that I notice what was wrong with this particular bunch of flowers!!! Cee’s said it before. I need to slow down. Perhaps after the art walk!

Dusty Petals
There are not an excessive number of flowers in La Manzanilla, but I found these little blooms down the street in a strip of soil near the curb, well-dusted by traffic on the sandy pavers. If anyone knows what they are, please let me know.

Teenie Weenie: Prompt Stomp Week 14, 2016
This is a tiny portion of a compound flower that is not that impressive in it’s totality, but this one little bloom blown up in size is so elegant, I think. All of these blooms and details of plants are easy to overlook when they are life-sized. Their beauty mainly shows in closeup.

Yellow!!!
Finally!!!! I’ve been saving this one for this challenge for weeks now and keep bringing it up from my desktop. I’ve never seen a yellow poinsettia before and think it probably changed from green to yellow to white or some other color, but I loved it at this stage!! So glad to finally be able to use it. I promise no more poinsettias for awhile. Well, unless there’s a really neat one!!! Backsliding already.
