This is a sunset over a wooded hill for a skyline... the sunlight reflecting off of the bottom of those clouds was almost impossible to capture it was so bright. The guys with me had heard me use the term "Chrome Orange" when describing sunsets before, this day they understood.

These Croci were wet from a recent rainfall... not suprising since they were in Seattle! The color just captivated me; I must have taken about 50 photos of these gals...

And yet another Calendula. This one is obviously more yellow, and apparently very tasty! Looks like he's tasting the Sun. I use a slightly cropped version of this photo on my business cards, so if it looks familiar, yeah, this is the same shot.
