Finishing with Frangipanis

Stick around frangipanis; it's still warm weather yet!!

Dusky Daisy

Fuschias Sunny-Side Up

Not the best composition I've ever done perhaps but I like the summery-ness of it. 

Plus I'm giving myself credit for getting underneath the flowers, snapping away while blinded by the sun...

Roses of Snow

The intricacies of rose petals, lit up in creams and ivories. 

The Papery Petals of Hydrangeas

Of pinks and creams-with-a-hint-of-green...

Twinkle Toes

This is very likely an Aussie native, but I don't know much more about it than that. Pretty, delicate-looking flower though. 

Huddles and Giggles

That's got to be some juicy gossip!

By any other name

A close-up in full sunshine - that's summer, right there!

Bright Sentinels

Standing bright guard by the roadside on an overcast day. 

I've got no idea what these flowers are, but would guess it's some kind of Aussie native. 

No photoshop at all in this one (nope, not even cropping and definitely no filters!) Yes, my point-and-shoot skills with the phone are that good! ;-)

February Theme: The Flowers of Summer

With a couple of cool days already hinting at the autumn to come, even though we're at the start of February, what better theme than "flowers of summer". 

With frangipanis, roses and fushias in full bloom and living in the now, I'm going to take a leaf out of their book and follow their bright example!
