I so did not see this as one of your shots. With lots of people and large architecture shots this is really quite different. I have never thought about that with colorful outside plants but isn't it true. Love passing houses with gardens out front or colorful pots and hanging baskets.
@irisn@joansmor -- thanks for you comments. How funny that you didn't see this as "one of my shots" because it's true that I have an eclectic style of many interests. Whatever catches my eye at the moment. What I like about this one is that it's not centered. It feels more suited to my Japanese style of being asymmetrical.
