In deepening spring

these fiery torches.

    Stunning macro! Love the roughly textured greens and the sky creates a beautiful bokeh behind the lovely flower!

    great pic and wonderful verse
    from this angle it looks like
    an unlit candle.

    I’m want to come out west one of these years , to see the desert in bloom! The vegetation is so exotic and the flowers are lovely. Perhaps a road trip……
