This flower garden is in the center of Orleans in Cape Cod. I captured the scene from above so the flowers were exploding in my face. You can sit on a bench there and watch the flowers for hours.

Needless to say, I am thrilled by this award received last weekend. This is a scene from an old neighborhood in Jerusalem. The geraniums there grow on vines that drape the buildings. I loved the old arched windows and stone walls.
