From Cee: This week the topic is Close ups. I’m looking for you to get close to your subject. You can have macros, but they are not necessary for this challenge. If you can get close to a huge ship and can only take part of it’s hull, that works for me or maybe get up close to your beloved pet. Anything is acceptable, as long as you are close.

CFFC: F – Fun or Flowers

Sep29

Cee says: This week is Letter F – Topic is Fun or Flowers. To me flowers are all about fun. But fun is not limited. Have fun with this week’s challenge.

I decided to do both Fun and Flowers! Photos taken with iPhone5 and framed in Fotor.

First, let me wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I’m linking this to Cee’s Flower of the Day!

I’m really feeling the end of spring and summer and the arrival of winter. I know and expect the seasons to change. Why, the changing seasons is the one thing I kept saying I missed the whole time I lived in Florida. Now, springtime was amazing here. Summer was fantastic here. Even Fall was beautiful — even though I knew what it was ushering in! And now they’ve disappeared. So, now that Christmas is over, bring on the Spring and Summer! But since I must be patient, I’m posting some of the flowers we have enjoyed at our new home over the past spring and summer seasons.

Although we haven’t yet gotten into the really cold and snowy days yet (coming soon, I’m sure), all the plants and trees around me are dormant (look dead) and I really miss the beauty (and the warmth) of spring, summer, and fall. So, to bring a little sunshine into this new year, I’m posting a bunch of the flowers we discovered here at our new house this past year. I have no idea what most of them are called. If anyone feels so inclined to enlighten me, please feel free to do so! 🙂
