I have no idea what this is, but a neighbor brought mother a small bouquet that had this in it, and it somehow ended up in front of my camera for a couple minutes.

All incoming flowers and/or gifts to others have to land in front of the lens for a few minutes.

No idea what it is, Sandy, but I like the coloring, especially that touch of red. Also like the slight angle.

Nice portrait.

I feel very mellow right now.

A calming effect, which surprises me because yellow usually just makes me happy. Beautiful image, Sandy!
