A selection of bordered floral and macro flower photographs now available as prints.
"Sensuality"
A closeup of a rose that will never fade. Several types of roses grow in my garden, including climbing, trailing, bush and traditional varieties. Because they are grown naturally, they are imperfect, but there is an additional beauty that I find in that. Here the roses bloom nearly year-round, providing a continuous display of colorful flowers, delightful scents, visiting butterflies and petals for decorating cakes and making a ruby-red rose syrup.

"Purple"
macro of raindrops on a red cabbage leaf. 2007 saw my first efforts to grow cabbage in my garden. While the yield was limited, this tasty photograph more than made up for it.

"Southern Belle"
southern magnolia flower. Southern Magnolias made up my mother's wedding bouquet. Beautifully scented, and a delight on glossy green trees lining roadways and growing wild along the rivers, magnolias hold a special place in my heart.
