I've always delighted in the showy blooms of the Hibiscus. These are in the front yard of tomorrow's "Old House" . . .

I'm not a flower man, but I'll give you that one.

Wow, Slim. You are good. You've got focus in the full depth of field.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting today. QDP had whet my appetite for the Adams family and earlier this month we finally visited! I took some lovely pictures of the garden in full bloom with the ivy covered library in the background. I was also delighted to see that I had similar china to the Adams, albeit a poorer cousin verison.

I'd love to join you on your photographic exploration of Brattleboro, Slim. I have commitments from 3pm on into the evening. Any chance we could arrange something earlier in the day?

Very well done! We've got bunches of hibiscuses and love 'em. (Don't tell anyone, but that's about the only flower of which I know the name!)

No, I usually also can tell a rose.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
