Well, now that my somewhat crazy December is finally over, I hope to return to the habit of posting on a regular basis.  I definitely have a lot of new photos to share, and maybe even a few interesting things to write about.

First, I want to jump back into some photo challenges!  Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Red Flowers.  I’m very lucky that in my neighborhood there are always a few bright and colorful gardens I can’t resist pointing my camera at.

This heart-shaped crape myrtle always reminds me of Valentine’s Day.

For this beautiful red rose I played with some of the photo effects available on Flickr.

Here’s a bright accent at the edge of this corner lot.

I’m not sure what this flower is, but it’s a real beauty.
