    The backdrop is trees, changed with a desat watercolor treatment...

    Thanks for the visit...

    Very nice, Rags. Bougainvillea is my favorite flowering plant. I've got a huge one in a pot that hangs by my garage. I've never seen the plant with a bonsai treatment like yours. It's beautiful.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I hope you don't mind, Rags. I couldn't help myself.....one good bougainvillea deserves another. It was windy so it's not as sharp as I would like. The garage you see is the one that hurricane Irma demolished in late 2017....along with the two cars that were in it. Thankfully, the other garage and cars were not damaged.

    Thanks Tom; they're my favorite too...

    this is the new backdrop... thanks to sinking trellis...

    Then the yard with bougies growing up the poles (now they're crawling along the top rail)

    Beautiful stuff. I love that Ying-Yang piece. The yard is fabulous. I was down in Naples, FL. recently. There is a popular restaurant there....food to die for....that has its entire front structure completely engulfed by the most amazing bougainvillea display I've ever seen.

    Gorgeous plant and patio! My bougainvillea is blooming--one small blossom on three long legs. It looks anemic compared to these.

    "a joy most years... in our area of challenged sunlight."

    Bougainvilleas must be versatile. They take full-blast summer sun in the desert, although our only plant is in partial shade..

    Nice to see that we all have "other" creative interest away from the lens.

    Rags, I like the close up with the Yin-Yang symbol. Peaceful.

    This might make for an interesting conversion to B+W, just a thought.

    Well done.

    Cheers,
