Weekend Snapshot: Flowers

This weekend brought a whirlwind of craziness and yet again I was forced to postpone my outdoor spring clean up. I did, however, manage to take a few minutes to browse through a local garden center. This not only renewed my hopes of having a beautiful summer flower garden, it afforded an opportunity to photograph some unique and interesting subjects.
