glorious orange

@Yvonne S.: thank you Yvonne! All of the recently uploaded pictures were taken in October. Most of the flowers we discovered there, except the rose (which is in my yard). The funny thing is, I had not thought about the fact that it was a strange time for so many blooming plants until you just mentioned it. We did have a really warm October (70+F) so that may had something to do with it. I really don't know much about plants, so I don't know what type they are. Thanks for visiting again. You should get frequent visitor points :')

@Mary: Thanks :)

@Angela: Thank you Angela! I was inspired by Akarui (portfolio picture #32 I believe)
My flower looks similar to his, although his picture is breath-taking in composition, color, and clarity. I still have lots of learning to do :)

@Marzia: thank you so much Marzia! I appreciate your comment and your visit! :)

@JJ: JJ, thank you so much. I am flattered :) although nature once again provided me with all that I needed. ;-)
