My brother-in-law's wife has been asking us to come to their farm and see the variety of flowers she has planted around the house. My wife and I went there today, and what a treat it was to see all the colorful flowers!
I was impressed with the Snapdragons. They were about 2-ft. high and very bright. I was happy to be there at the time of day when we were because the flowers were in the shade omitting harsh sunlight and heavy shadows.
Enjoy these. Exif intact. Cropped and PP w/PSE8. Comments welcome.

This is a darn good set Gene. Well done.
Thank you, Joe. I had a very co-operative subject this time. Only problem I had was the wind. The bro-in-law was put on to assist holding the foam board. I just love these colorful flowers. Glad you like them and thanks for looking.

:) Thanks, Erv. I was glad one of the spikes wasn't too tall and not fully in bloom. I really enjoyed this shoot. Glad you like these and thanks for looking.
