This floral image is absolutely fabulous Patricia! The detail, color, light and composition are all just perfect. I expect to see this one again! #10085341

PATRICIA A. CASEY 4/11/2012 4:33:10 AM

Thank you Dee....early morning before the sun came over the horizon....the lobivia wilt during the heat of the day and the show is over but for another bud to bloom. This plant produces buds for a quite a long time....sometimes in the summer after a rain...

Congratulations Pictures, Images and Photos

On this super beautiful Finalist, Patricia! This looks like GOLD to me! :D Hope to see you in the winners circle!

-Laura :)
P.S. Contact me before your trip up here. I want to be sure you get good directions to where my "Reaching the Goal" mountain is so you don't miss the experience. Come back and see "The Big Valley" (Page 1) and "Have A Peak" (Page 2). Those are also things you will see from the top of that mountain. Experiences hikers would call it a hill. It's well worth the climb. #10153355
