Lately, I’ve shot many photos from above…..which just happens to be the topic for this week’s photo challenge. Don’t you just love serendipity!? 🙂
First up, a macro image of Iris Hexagona, one of Florida’s prettiest native wildflowers.
When the rain stopped last Thursday, one of my newly planted Wal-Mart lily bulbs was opened wide. This Asiatic variety is known as “Tango Orange Art“.
The colorful Gaillardia Torch Red Ember (G. Pulchella) reseeds all over the place…Here you can see it from above, growing through broken cement!
Sometimes what you notice from above can surprise you!
The nodding Hippeastrum Vera Amaryllis suggests we aren’t alone keeping track of things from above.
Probably keeping an eye (throat?) out for interloping Gaillardia seeds….or frogs! 😉
For other bloggers’ views from above, check out the Zemanta provided links below:
Until next time……

Thank you for the pingback 🙂 I love that purple iris! Beautiful!
You’re very welcome. I’m a big fan of pingbacks. I can’t even count the number of great blogs (like yours 🙂 ) I’ve found just by using the Zemanta suggestions.
I really appreciate that you popped in!
🙂 I’ll be back, for sure!
Beautiful!
Thanks, Cindy!
Love that frog! He looks like he’s thinking: “For Pete’s sake, I just got up.”
hahaha! doesn’t he?! I got quite a chuckle out of that arm!
Your photo collection is superb and very enjoyable…well done. I did think the frog adds a real sense of whimsy.
Thank you, Charlie!
I love the photo with the frog 🙂
The frog seems to be the clear cut winner!
🙂
Cute frog, he found the perfect private pool!
They do love hanging in Bromeliad cups! I see them all the time!
I guess I’m not the only frog lover viewing today! 😉
The frog must have been a fun surprise. 🙂 I love irises, and the one in your first photo looks lovely. Some are blooming around here, too.
They’re such a vibrant plant. I’ve gotten some walking irises as passalongs from gardening friends and they should be blooming soon too.
I love lilies!!! That little frog was right where he wanted to be.. 🙂
The blue of the Iris is a wow, especially when seen from above 🙂
I like taking pictures of my flowers from above. It gives a different perspective. And, I liked the surprise of the frog.
