I photographed these flowers while hiking in Arches National Park. 
My husband was patient while I stopped to take MANY pictures along 
the way. It amazes me that these daisies don't wilt in the heat.

I got down on my belly to photograph this bloom. The aroma was powerful and the back lighting was spectacular. There were lots of different greens. What fun!

While hiking up Millcreek Canyon (Salt Lake City, Utah), I snapped a photo of these berries. Some people call them Fire Thorn while others refer to them as Pyracantha.  We had a hedge of these berries in the backyard of the home where I grew up. I usually managed to fall into the hedge at least once a year. Ouch!  Good times...

While deciding how to light this flower and select the angle from which it would be painted, I noticed how interesting the backside was. There you have it!
