Hibiscus

This lovely hibiscus

is at the front entrance of the building

where I work.

What really got my attention

in the early morning light

was the shadow of the pistil and stamen.

This bloom was in the shade,

so... no pistil/stamen shadow.

Hibiscus Plus

I have come to the conclusion that hibiscus is my favorite flower.

I have a hard time not snapping pictures of them

wherever I find them.

These were on the edges of a parking lot

on Sanibel Island, Florida.

Taken in March 2017.

This bicycle seat in the same location

was equally irresistible.

SUPER SOFT...AHHhhh
