Black-eyed susans are one of my favorite flowers - definitely cheery! And the little bee is an added bonus - lovely shot

i like the choice of intense close up for these flowers - very unworldly looking

...there's a story there. Sorry your kid doesn't have driving privileges for a while. You are a patient mom.

back to the point at hand: Hey, those alien 'worms' are cute and fun. If it was mine, I might crop down to the top of the sharp guys and the left side to the leaf. The slightly OOF leaves cradle them, and give a base of operations.

Move it around on your monitor. See what you think.

Sorry to hear about your stress (is your daughter going back to school?)--my apartment complex just kind of emptied out at the end of July as many people went back to school, I can park anywhere now! "D

Waterlilies are so interesting. I never thought of having a half-barrel with a waterlily & I might just give it a try next summer. It would give the birds some water to drink, too.

I can see sentinels in this, & I like the DOF. I am a complete sucker for waterlilies, though!

The tiny spider is so cute! This happens to me often - I come home and discover all those bugs on my flower shots :))

The black, orange, green is lovely!
