For Lisa

A Passion Flower...Almost as beautiful as you...

Taken at East End Park, Kingwood, TX.

Tomorrow will begin a series of images that has changed my perspective on photography and life. I've posted a few images past this series, as I'm not sure if I will feel like checking on things around here while the series runs...You will understand why at the end of next week. But this upcoming series has made me want to do more B&W photos of people caught in moments of emotion. I'll still keep doing nature macros, as I love them dearly, but my portfolio will surely become more diverse as a result of this. E - 29 May 2008

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

@Barry: Thanks, my friend...and you're quite right...Lisa is certainly a rare beauty. Perhaps one day she will deem me worthy to take some portrait shots of her...

Excellent way to close off the macros (for now).

This is a bloom off of a vine native to this part of Texas. There is also a dwarf variety here that makes the same bloom, but only about one inch in diameter. These are about three inches across, and produce a green, oval fruit/seedpod that bursts to spread the seeds. It's not the plant that produces Passion Fruit, but I think our local birds enjoy it anyway!

Thank you all so much for the compliments!

Beautiful flower, and great capture.

@Andres Abon: Thank you very much, Andres. I don't know if these grow wild in your part of the state, but they can be found in wooded areas here in South East Texas.

Lovely shot of the "passion", and I like your comment. It strikes a good point, and something I need to do myself, especially with cold weather upon us. Thanks for the inspiration, and keep up the good work.
