Hibiscus 2011-08-31 A giant red hibiscus that I saw in the municipal flower gardens. I took a picture of the same plant last year (at least I think it was the same plant) from a different angle: http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Landscapes/Vienna/7986304_r9xtwT#928527450_PBbPT Many thanks for the comments on various pictures. Much appreciated. I'll be 'on the town' today for organ practice and meetings - summer is over and all kinds of activities are starting up again, even for us old retirees.

Patterns 2011-08-29 Just a bit of fun today - I saw these patterns on Saturday and they caught my eye. Many thanks for the comment on yesterday's golf course shot - I need to process the 100 or so shots today for the sponsor.

Afternoon lilies 2011-08-20 A shot of the pond where yesterday's dragonfly was cruising. This shot is almost SOOC, except I couldn't get my eye to rest on the left-hand lily, so I darkened the right side a bit. I hope you like it. And many thanks for yesterday's comments. The dragonfly did disappear from the dailies for a bit, but it came back.
