Dragon wing begonia by danette

Dragon wing begonia

Today's word is "dragon" (for the Chinese Year of the Dragon). I'll bet no one else picked a begonia! I have them growing in a nice shady spot by the front door.

I couldn't choose just one photo, so I am uploading one to my Extras album.
Beautiful shot.

creative idea!!!

Beautiful! I like both version, but this one just a bit more. The bokeh does it for me.

I'm glad I'm not in the word of the day because I have no idea what I would have done for a dragon shot. Gorgeous flowers!

Very pretty, Scooter! (Maybe some day soon we can start calling you Skippy. Heal well!)

Oh, I love that color! Beautiful shot!

@billsouth We'll need an interim name! I didn't need the scooter at all yesterday. I only use it if I have a long distance to cover. Alas, it will be weeks before I can skip again!

I thank you all for your kind remarks. I'm glad I didn't need to go in search of a real dragon! "Pooh" is much easier to come by. This plant was so low to the ground. While I took several I was happy with, I would have liked to have been able to get lower. Not able to right now.

@clmiller Thanks, Caren! It does like the "cooler" months.

@karenzachary Thanks for the second comment. I was trying to get lower to get more of that background, but my foot can't cooperate. I look forward to working at it some more later.

@shirljess Thanks for stopping by, Shirley!
