Something new

This past week I decided to participate in a photo scavenger hunt on a photography related message board I frequent. I wasn't able to get all 5 shots/items, but I did get 2 of them (purple and texture) as well as a couple of others. I don't normally take shots like these so it was fun to try something different, especially with all the new plants and flowers in the yard. Did I mention that gardening has become another obsession of mine?
