6-17-13 Poppy Dreaming - this was taken yesterday at Birch Bay State Park, Washington along the northern part of Puget Sound. There was an area that had opium poppies along the edge of the grassland near the beach. I processed this using Topaz Simplify, Color Effex Pro, and added a texture.

4-27-13 This is most likely the last tulip picture in this series. I took this a little after sunrise when there was still color in the sky. I used my fisheye and then used Lightroom's lens correction to defish it.

1-22-13 Orchid - This was taken on Sunday on my visit to the University of Washington greenhouse. I added a textured background to have the orchid stand out against the white background. I appreciate all the wonderful comments on my cactus image. We have some witty people who left some great comments.

Critiques welcome.
