so - this was one of the flowers that we found on the side of the road in Arlington on the last day of spring break... i thought this was an interesting subject, as one of the most beautiful flowers was in a dangerous environment such as the side of a road in Texas... This was one of the few moments during the trip that i did not have my camera draped around my neck, so i had to pick the flower... this shot is actually taken up against the building in which we stayed... i took a couple of shots of this lovely flower, but i liked this one the best... as soon as i get the rest of my pix from arlingotn, i will put some up here...
