 It's been a long time since I submitting anything into DPC, but my lifetime friend SandyP talked me into joining again. So here goes, I'm jumping in!!

One thing we have in the Pacific Northwest is plenty of rain so it was actually raining when I took this photo. I planted this Deciduous Azalea last year but had no idea what the flower would look like. The fragrance is wonderful!

By far my favorite of the challenge. Kind of looks like a hybrid of ambrosia and scrambled eggs.

I really expected this to finish higher - at least on the front page! It’s really lovely, and a wonderful addition to your portfolio, even if the votes don’t do it justice!

The water droplets are all natural. I was so intrigued of how this flower just seemed to hang on to the water drops that I had to get a photo of it.

absolutely gobsmacked that this didn't do a whole heap better .. it has so much more going for it than some of the images that beat it ..
I can see by the breakdown of votes that a lot of ppl loved this photo..
congrats from me ..
if I gave out awards for 'gorgeous'.. 'beautiful' and 'stunning' then this would definitely get one ..:)

How PRETTY! It has the softest abstract kind of feel to it. Sharp where it needs to be, soft colors that melt into each other everywhere else. It's amazing and would make a beautiful wall print!
