**Hibiscus pics from my yard**

[gemini9961]

I was out looking at my recently planted Hibiscus and saw that one had a beautiful yellow flower on it so of course I had to get the camera. I planted 4 but these were the only 2 that currently had a flower on them. I was also messing around with the settings on my camera, somthing I rarely do since I have no idea what I am doing. :rolleyes: But today it actually worked out for me because I found the B & W setting!!! :o I have had this camera for about a year and had not been able to find the B & W setting.....duh Amber. :( Well without further ado, here they are.

In this one below if you look closely you can see the ants down there.

I took all of these at the same time this afternoon, although some look dark because of the settings I was using.

Those are great pictures. I love taking pictures of flowers and got some great ones this spring. I got several of peonies that bloomed in my yard that had close ups of ants on them.

Maggie looks wonderful in B&W or color!!! :D

The lizard did look a mite confused as to what was going on! :D
