August 8, 2007 - Sunflower
Even hotter than yesterday, with highs expected to reach the mid-90's and high humidity. It is nearly unbearable outside, but I'd been driving by these sunflowers for some time, and decided this morning to stop and get a few shots of them. I'm glad I did.
August 7, 2007 - The center of the rose
Another hot, steamy day today, with temps in the 90's and high humidity. I love the color of this rose, but zoomed in a little closer and really liked the layers of color in it.

August 6, 2007 - Rose of Sharon
Cloudy and humid today, with some showers possible. Stifling heat with very high humidity. I've attempted several photos of these, and never could get one that suited me. This one comes fairly close.

August 5, 2007 - Big yellow flower
Cloudy today, with off and on showers. Still humid but not as hot. I dodged the rain showers to slip out and get a shot of one of these very large yellow flowers. They grow taller than I am, and are quite striking.

A carbon copy of yesterday - hot, humid and sweltering. One of the advantages of having my granddaughter around is the interesting things I have to shoot. I've been wanting to play around with these, and so late last night, I did. Then I took a photo of them (grin).

August 3, 2007 - Unusual Butterfly
Hot and more humid today with highs in the mid 90's. It's getting hotter each day, so I went out early to shoot this morning. This is a very unusual butterfly. I don't know that I've seen one this particular color. I had to maneuver for about 20 minutes to get into position to take this one.

Extremely hot with temps in the 90's and high humidity. With this post I begin my second round with a PAD, but only when I can. I love the beauty of these flowers, but have found them to be difficult to photograph for some reason. This one is not my best work, but was adequate I thought.
