Orange hibiscus macro
Tonight I was at the Volunteer Park Conservatory, attending its annual Friends of the Conservatory meeting. The first part was in the Conservatory itself, with perfect late afternoon light showing off many of the exquisite floral displays to perfection. Here is an orange hibiscus flower, all glowing in the light.

What an exquisite macro! The rich orange color is simple gorgeous.
To your question Sara: yes I can notify you if you left me a valid email in linky form. I’m working on a new idea and I’ll notify my old bodies when/if it will come out as I expect.
Have a great weekend!
