I take pictures all the time of pretty things and don't know what they are. This is just one example. I have no idea what this is but I thought it was pretty!
Thanks for your comment on the boat. That's exactly why we're selling her. We're hoping to upgrade to a 30' in the next couple of years, and we can do that a lot faster if we're not paying for storage, moorings, and all the yearly maintenance projects. Plus, having a boat within an hour of home (instead of the 4-5 hour drive we have now) will hopefully mean more time sailing. Definitely a bittersweet moment, though.
Beautiful - and so unusual to see a flower on an evergreen. When we lived in Maine, we had a flowering white pine in our backyard - that looked similar to this....but too many years have passed since then.
Thank you Suzie. I used photoshop's "liquify turbulance" tool. It's one of my favorite tools!!
