Where do I begin with this piece? I have a lovely sweet pea vine that comes up along the back of my house every summer. The blooms are so pretty and the raindrops so exquisite on the pink petals and tendrils. It’s my favorite spot to obtain raindrop macros. After several photo shoots with this vine over the summer I tried to get a little more creative and put more of ‘myself’ into the image – literally! On the very top of the stem where you see a fine loop covered in waterdrops – that is actually a piece of my hair. Yes, I subjected myself to a moment of pain for this (smiles). / / Other than minor tone adjustments, and a slight saturation tweak, on the sweet pea stem itself – that part of the original image was left alone. I did so much to the background I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I don’t think there was a filter or distort tool I didn’t try until I finally achieved the look I wanted! I envisioned a pastel background with a marble look and am quite pleased with how it turned out. Raindrop Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /

The inner depths of a Moon Flower with a blue tint. If you need a bit of relaxing, just enlarge this image and submerge yourself into the depths of it; it really works! There is something about the calming effect of the color blue, and being enveloped in this luscious flower blossom does the trick for me! I actually took this in a bowl of water, on my kitchen table….the light was just coming through the window a bit and it added a little “glow” to the blossom…....this is taken with a Canon A640, 10 megapixel….....hope you enjoy it as much as I. The Inner Depths of Blue There is nothing like it, / Not the sweet smell of the elegant Rose, / Nor the luminescence of the morning dew. / Nothing shares the calming effects of / The Inner Depths of Blue.

Gazania is native of South Africa and is also called Treasure flower. The plant is treasured for its strangely patterned daisylike flowers. / It grows to a height of about 15 inches with a spacing of 12 inches. / The Gazania flowers bloom in solid colors from yellow to orange, red, pink and white or in or in wild color combinations with splashy stripes or rings of contrasting colors.They can be as large as four inches across. The leaves are finely lobed, dark green above gray, and grow in compact clumps 8 to 10 inches tall. Each clump supports a number of flowers held above the leaves on 6 to 10 inch stems. I love these flowers and have some in a tub outside our door this year. /

This Mimosa Tree blossom is not only an attraction to Butterflies and Hummingbirds, but it is so delicate and so colorful and it’s like a Mini – fireworks display – nothing short of an explosion of color! this tree came as a volunteer and was not even noticed for a few years…......my friend Bonnie Barry wrote a story once about a volunteer Mimosa Tree and has graciously consented to my using it along with this image….Bonnie, Thank you!!! You can check her works by just typing in Miracles in the search field. / / ____ Joyce, I thought you might like this little story I wrote years ago about a mimosa I loved. All the best, Bonnie Mimosa While I was watering the wilted caladiums near my angel statue, I looked up and noticed the mimosa in all its glory. Here I was working diligently to make the caladiums grow, yet there it stood, radiant without human effort. How many other plants had I set in this same spot through the years? The angel’s trumpet . . . impatiens . . . . those unusual little two-tone flowers whose names I can’t remember. All of them curled up and died. The soil was awful here; roots were knotted through the area; the trees sapped all the moisture. I’d wasted many a dollar on this spot, yet there was the mimosa looking down on me in gentle amusement. I had not planted the mimosa. I had never tilled the soil for it. I had not even watered it through the three-year drought. Yet three years ago it had been little more than a naked stick poking from the ground. The only reason it stayed put was that it was too close to the hurricane fence for Tommy to lop it as he mowed. The mimosa was a gift, a pure gift from God. I couldn’t claim any part in its flourishing. Either God’s wind had blown its seed to this corner or God’s birds had unwittingly deposited it. Only the miracle of nature could have made it grow like this without human care or cultivation. Yet now it produced all the color and vibrancy, all the grace and beauty that I had tried to achieve through the years with no success at all. / How like my life, I thought. Sometimes all my strained efforts are fruitless, yet in the midst of the sterility, God drops a single word, a single thought, and everything is suddenly alive and beautiful. Apart from Him, I can do nothing, yet I work like a Trojan to do it anyway. Maybe the gifts are rewards for my efforts, and maybe they are just freely given out of pure love. Who knows? Whatever the reason, the Source is undeniable. ___ “Every good gift and every perfect endowment comes from the Father of Lights,” (James 1:17) the mimosa whispers to me in gentle and amused remembrance. / __ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

The Cup and Saucer Vine, also known as the Mexican Climbing Vine when it was introduced in 1792 is actually Cobaea Scandens. It is a perennial plant in its native Mexico but usually it’s grown as an annual here. The plant will cover a large area, like a chain link fence or unsightly view, in one summer – it has a spread of about 25 feet in a year, and in midsummer, it bears cup and saucer flowers which emerge dramatically from green calyxes. The vine climbs by tendrils borne at the ends of its leaves, so it can be placed against a trellis or grown up a rough surfaced wall. The flowers are the wonder of this plant: they start out as green, five-cornered, papery buds, then open to reveal the green saucer and bell-shaped flower. The pale green flower becomes striped with violet, finally changing to deep purple before dropping off the plant. The stamens descend outside the flower and are long, arching and tipped with golden pollen, giving the plant its final touch of elegance. The foliage and tendrils are shaded with violet and are beautiful from spring to late autumn frosts.
