Hanging Orchid

I particularly like the simplicity of this one!

Yellow Bearded Iris

Another subject that makes a beautiful photo no matter how you look at it. But the backdrop of the other Iris' leaves make the beautiful flower stand out more. After all, you wouldn't put a beautiful picture in an ugly frame.

This is another photo I grew myself... :-)

Fuzzy Brain

I just got a watertight housing for my camera. And this looks like something I would photograph while diving, but this was actually in the aisles of Home Depot. It is a fuzzy little plant called a Cockscomb. There is also a more upright and pointy version of the Celosia, but this kind of brain-like one (Celosia cristata) is my favorite.

Prickly Pear Flower

There is a great cactus garden on Figueroa Street in Santa Barbara. I pass there often after eating at one of my favorite restaurants, Los Arroyos.

I took this photo when I introduced my parents to Los Arroyos for the first time. Ironically, they were in town to see my first Photography exhibition, a collection of flower close-ups.
