I thought the angle of these tiny flower buds in the vase made them look like they were reaching out for something.

The sun was hitting this orange flower just right as it was opening up.

Actually, they are both pretty close to death, but one is certainly in better shape than the other. The opposite position of the two makes for a cool contrast.

Some tiny yellow buds bursting onto the scene from their white stems.

These tiny purple flowers looked more like a duck than a flower to me. I was able to isolate it from the background enough to really make each little piece of fuzz on the edge stand out and make it look much more like the duck that I saw in it.

This shot is pure yellow. I liked getting close for this one, it almost makes me forget exactly what I’m looking at.

These flowers were very tiny but had great details. I really like the look of the little buds bursting out of the center.

On the south side of Crater Lake I found this unexpected little waterfall called Vidae Falls which was surrounded by wildflowers. I was here later in the day when it was overcast, so this little waterfall was almost as good as the lake view itself.

The first wave of buds on the hydrangea had just started to bloom, and there were plenty of closed buds ready to follow their lead.

It has been very hot here, so I wanted to post something red.  This is one of the daylilies from my yard.  The red petals really get the rest of the flower to pop.
