About I don't know how many times have I told this dahlia not to stick its petals in the light socket, but did it listen? No..... My original title for this was "If Bill the Cat Was Reincarnated as a Flower," but I don't know how many people are familiar with Bill the Cat.

Another in "My Wife's Black Jacket" series. This time it was velvet. My wife had actually picked this flower and it was in a vase on our kitchen table. I tried for quite a while to capture it in the kitchen but I couldn't seem to get a shot that I liked. Late the following afternoon, in that long lovely light, I brought the flower back out in the garden and got this shot.

May, 15, 2008 - I just found out tonight that this picture was selected to hang in the Everson Museum of Art in the "On My Own Time" 2008 exhibit. Last year my shot "Up Close and Personal" was chosen for the 2007 exhibit. I'm honored.

WOW! Great flower presentation, rich strong light, excellent saturation so vivid red and orange like fire...and all these presented on black background...for me just the best way for a flower. The result is great plus that is NOT a flower that we can see every day...so also original, that shot has everything I want to see...excellent!
