tulips...

hand of God ?

I was headed into the pool when I decided to see if I could grab a nice shot or two of the gardenia blooms. This one almost got deleted. I thought it was average. Jim (the other one) stopped me, told me to really look at the photo and see if I didn't notice "something". I never was too good at noticing subtle signs from God. But this has taught me that I need to spend just a little more time looking....

"white" hibiscus

Okay... I must have misplaced the better pic for this flower, but... this is supposed to be a white hibiscus. It was, when we got it.... snow white. Evidently nature decided to add a little color. I like it! BTW - for hibiscus fans, this one (and it's twin) spend most of the day in shade... and it's been blooming non-stop for a year now. Okay, there was a week or two in the winter when we had freezing temps and they stopped but - they've really put on a show!
