  1. Wonderful photo Doug. The seemingly endless sea of yellow flowers punctuated by the orange. The trees provide perspective and interest. A scene which would be hard to tire of.

  17. So where do I begin?

    1. The image: A wonderful shot of nature's beauty and colour, nicely offset by the strongly textured tree trunk.
    2. The Blog: A brilliant new approach and a layout that works intuitively, one of the best I've seen.
    3. The day: A belated Happy Independence Day to all the Hickokks.

    I know these flowers originate in North America but I saw them only in the gardens here, as cultivated flowers.
