happy 200 blip day - 2 me!

what nicer way to celebrate than to look at this, mmmmm!!

i had a very busy day and was wondering when i would even get a chance to take one photograph, but my mom & dad's garden came to my rescue with a beautiful hibiscus i had never seen there before. Such colours!!! I was drawn right to it. when I got the photo out of the camera tonight, i was amazed at what i saw. You must look at this large!

It looks like we've discovered another world inside this flower! I did not do much to it but re-size it. I tried Photoshop, but what I did looked too painterly so enjoy this version instead.

phew, i announced my creative art swaps today and i am tired, but all is going well with lots of sign-ups already. my sister and family are here from CT, so do not worry if you don't hear from me for a bit - I so appreciate all your visits and I'll be back to see you soon.
