I had to run all over the place to find models today, sometimes it's like that.

The weather is still cooler than usual, that's a good thing!

Great pics! That first one looks like the SOB that took two koi out of my water garden!

[Daffynition]

Beautiful!

What are those star like blooms? I’ve never seen them before.

[ishabibble]

So lovely!

So very beautiful.

Thank you.

Very nice. One work of advice, carry a small spray bottle full of water and give the flowers a quick spritz before the shot. Really makes them pop.

[PGalt]

OUTSTANDING!

[smokingfrog]

Very nice.

Usually when I type "florida models" into my search engine, I don'f find anything like that.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

This is a variety of Ginger.

[Daffynition]

Thank you. It’s incredible ...I know so little about *tropical* plants.

[siamesecats]

What’s the name of the critter?

Interesting neck :)

[siamesecats]

I should have specified.....I mean in the last picture, lizard, newt, I feel like a dummy...

Fabulous pictures!

And thanks for sharing!!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It’s a Cuban Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei sagrei. They were introduced in the late 1800s and are gradually moving north. They are crowding our native Green Anole out. The green handles cold better, so maybe they can hang on.

[MilspecRob]

Thank you very much.

Happened to pick my favorite color of flower.
Used to have a hedge of yellow hibiscus when I lived in S. Fla.
Beautiful.
Used to use Ektachrome film because it would burst yellows out on film.

Thanks

You might want to call Al Gore and let him know. Anyway, beautiful work as usual.
