Hydrangea looks great no matter what state of living or dying it's in.
And then there's the poppy, so delicate and strong and loaded with symbolism through no fault of its own.  Enough to be a poppy.  In fact, I'd like to try it some time:
Geraniums are cool because they're common and everywhere and they have that great weekend gardener fragrance that makes you happy to be outside in the early spring and the cold mornings of late summer.
Zinnias....are high-maintenance little lovelies.  This one is happy to be judged by the company she keeps.
I took these photos with my phone camera while my daughter worked her magic with her DSLR.  My photographic challenge these days involves taking pictures with the phone while holding the dogs or the bags and sweaters with the other.  It's a good challenge because it reminds me I am in this world and walking among its marvels.  In fact, it's a privelege to be here.  That's why I take pictures.
