They Will Grow [Flowers]
Uploaded: February 19, 2008 08:40:32
I loved the fact that these pretty little flowers didn't seem to care that they were growing up the unforgiving stones of a building and had to peek out from behind a water pipe to see the sun.

Well seen, Mitch. It's a hopeful capture.Nikki McDonald February 20, 2008
I like this a lot, Mitch. Very nice effects--the buzz on the building blocks and, I think, pipe but not on the fresh little daisies is very nice. Great colors and vertical composition, too. #5522300Mitch Spence February 21, 2008
Thanks, Dave, Steve, Colette, Kitty, Michelle, and Nikki. That little bit of summer surely looks pretty good about now, doesn't it? Ah, I guess we'll survive the rest of February and March. #5526559Erika Haight February 21, 2008

This image just lets me know that mother nature will not be stopped! Wonderful image Mitch, with awesome effects and the lighting is amazing! #5529098Mitch Spence February 22, 2008
Erika, Pat, and Sandi--thank you, thank you. I don't often photograph flowers, but when I do, I'm always drawn to them as a whole, and often not as closeups of parts of them, which I see much more often, so I'm especially pleased that others find these sometimes interesting as well. #5531607Debra K.
