As Cute as a Button

And now for a little break from fall. This looks more springy. Here is a flower that reminds me of Meg Ryan...just as cute as a button...said by scrunching up her little nose. It is blooming in a yard by the trail. I noticed it recently...lots of pretty color and flowers in the yard along the fence, but the homeowner is always out working on them. Yesterday she was not, so I ran over for a quick snap.
Beautiful . Like the composition.

@bobfoto I am not intentionally copycatting you, Jason. First FWP on FB and now posting flowers on 365. Don't worry, I am not attempting to grow a beard.

Fabulous light, love the vibrant colours. Wonderful shot

Lovely flower with great lighting;)
October 22nd, 2013  
Brilliant color and composition!

Beautiful shot. Love the colours and light.
October 22nd, 2013  
Funny commentary! And loving the lighting in the shot.
October 22nd, 2013  
Such a pretty shot! Lovely colour!

@amandal - I think your green background is very inspired by me. And i have no problems with you growing a beard, the bearded society of which I belong is not sexist, they're hairist, and you would be more than welcome amongst the rank and file if you were to sport a beard of face.
October 22nd, 2013  
It is very beautiful. The light on the tips of the petals make it glow !
October 22nd, 2013  
@bobfoto Sorry, dude, there is only so much I will do...and a beard is not one of them. Hmmm, but a bearded lady selfie could be fun?! And take the unintentional copying as a form of flattery.
October 22nd, 2013  
@amandal - you wouldn't be the first lady who has sported some kind of facial hair for the 365. And i would always be flattered.
October 22nd, 2013  
Love the juxtaposition of the hard fence and delicate beautiful flower.
October 22nd, 2013  
Beautiful with the light from behind on the petals.
October 22nd, 2013  
Lovely light,a very pretty shot!!
October 22nd, 2013  
I love the way you caught the light. I keep trying to do that with leaves around here, but haven't had much luck yet.

Love the backlighting and transparency of the petals ... gorgeous.
October 23rd, 2013  
I gotta be honest. I don't know why I love this but I do. FAV! Good job with this Amanda :D
October 23rd, 2013  
FAV! This reminds me of a little pinwheel. Love the color and backlighting!
October 23rd, 2013

October 23rd, 2013  
Gorgeous shot Amanda! Love the backlighting through those gorgeous translucent petals! My garden is full of weeds! : ))
October 23rd, 2013  
@adamj I felt the same way, Adam. I cringe when I post flowers. Not so into them as a genre as a norm, but I just loved this. Thank you, friend!
October 23rd, 2013  
Wonderful backlighting, love the layers of colour. I love flowers and would have loved to have shot this - so it's a FAV
October 23rd, 2013  
@wind_of_the_sothern_sea I loved the glow, too. Thanks, Arefin!!

@malc Thanks so much for that, Malc!!

@pflaume Aw, thank you kindly, Lisa!!

@darsphotos Thanks so much, Darlene!! Really appreciate that!

@bobfoto I saw a beard costume (it was the dude with the wild eyes in Duck Dynasty that reminds me of you) yesterday at the store. It was $20, though...surely I can find a cheaper beard. Or I can make one out of moss. Shucks, I'll have to get that in FL in December. Shoe polish? I'll keep looking. I don't think that the look will be good for me, though.

@amandal - Cotton Wool?
October 23rd, 2013  
The light shining through the petals is lovely xx
October 23rd, 2013

October 23rd, 2013  
@amandal - A sock would be funny.
