#dailybluemarble #flowers California poppies in the #Arizona desert, near Sedona in a photo from a few years ago. When Arizona has a spring rain at just the right time it's an amazing place full of flowers of almost every color. #nature #photography
#dailybluemarble #flowers A couple of years ago several of Callyann's dahlias were knocked down by heavy rain, but we found if we left them alone they continued to bloom. This one landed in a color-matched bunch of heather for a nice picture #nature #photography #happyaccident
#dailybluemarble #flowers Sometimes your flower comes with a butterfly. This hydrangea was a favorite for the eastern swallowtails at our home in Virginia. #nature #photography #easternswallowtail
@dailybluemarble #shipsinthedesert The SS Sicamous travelled Okanagan lake as the primary transportation method until 1937, when roads and railways took over. Still surprising to turn a corner, and see it there. #landscape #photography #pentictonbc
#dailybluemarble #flowers Peruvian lilieis in bloom at Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver last June. Apparently they aren't actually a member of the lily family, but they don't seem to care so why should I? #nature #photography #vandusengarden
#dailybluemarble #flowers Flowers and a butterly. An eastern swallowtail definitely diving into its dinner, a Ditchlily that just happens to match his colors. Maybe some camouflage? An old photo, but still a favorite. #easternswallowtail #nature #photography
#dailybluemarble #flowers Bees actively working a flower on a Rose of Sharon bush in our backyard. Interesting how much pollen they collect on their bodies as they go about their business. #nature #photography #pollencollection #habiscus
#dailybluemarble #flowers #dahlia Dahlias come in what seems to be an endless variety of colors, and highlights. This photo from an unexpected morning in a botanical garden in Halifax, Nova Scotia a few years ago. #nature #photography
