No, these are not mine. I spotted them driving around town and was completly enchanted. So was my camera.

What gorgeous Zinnias! Love the little orange flecks with the pink. Soooo pretty!
Sometimes I think God might have known that flowers would be even more narcissistic than man... it's hard enough to handle us in that respect. ;)
Can I just pluck it out from your blog, Ginny? It looks so real :)
At first I thought these were Dahlias. Because I was taking photos of Dahlias of much the same colours and shapes just the other day... ;)
zany zinnias by a zany photographer. I LOVE< LOVE the one with the moth in the center. these are great photos ginny. do you ever wonder what people think aobut you when you stop and start to click away? i have seen people stare at me like WHAT is she doing? in the middle of a store in the middle of a mall i was taking photos. now that i think about it, i need to find them and do a post on that story.
Amazing beauty!
Loved the shots:)
I too was enchanted..and what a beautiful quote by Ralph
Beautiful!!!
Beautiful!
Don't see too many zinnias around here any more. I wonder why not since they are such beautiful flowers. Love your Emerson quote!
Really nice photos, Ginny.
Ginny, your flowers are just lovely. You have a photographers eye and make that camera do good things. You asked about the grandchildren. We have four of them all boys. The older boys will be with us as well, though the visits will have only a short overlap where we are all together. The little guys will be here the early part of the month, the older guys will join us mid August. We will being going to China, Nepal and Tibet. We'll be gone for about 5 weeks depending on how long we are allowed to stay in Tibet. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
Hi Ginny, Love Zinnias... We don't grow them--but my mother used to. They are a pretty summer flower though--and many people do grow them.
Love the one with the little pinwheels in the middle...
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
These are gorgeous captures- each one..beautiful shades of pink! They have to be one of my favorites- (I did find that picture of the patch of zinnias from that calander in my old backup)! Anyway, I can see why they caught your eye..hope you have a wonderful weekend-
Love the close-ups especially, but all the shots are beautiful! Isn't the color so pretty?
Gorgeous, gregarious zinnias!!! what's not to love ... they are beautiful.
In many ways these zinnias are now yours since you got such beautiful pictures of them. I love the color of these flowers.
Those are gorgeous zinnias, I can see why you were drawn to them. I love that color. All of your photos are beautiful Ginny but my favorite of course is the one with the sweet little Skipper.
Such a lovely and old fashion flower. This makes me think of my grandmother's garden filled with petunias and pansies and zinnias. I have some bare spots in the back yard that would provide a nice sunny home for some zinnias.
Ginny, these are all stunning! WOW! I would love to spend hours photographing them. :o)
