Probably common milkweed

Mine goes down an embankment and is now popping up between the planks of my deck...that makes me love it less!!

my inspiration folder is mostly from online photos anymore. i save the images with a name that tells me why i like them "lighting mounted thru mirror" so now i don't forget why i liked them. what i do enjoy is leafing thru my older saved images, it gives me a great tool to examine my taste - what was just a passing crush and what are my enduring loves - i don't winnow the images because then i'd be less able to winnow my taste if that makes any sense ;) something i just discovered recently is that if you use some sort of photo managing software (i use picasa, it's free), that if you are looking at an image that you can't save because it's copywrited, you can use control/printscrn buttons to do a screen-shot and hten save the image. it's a little bit lower resolution, but for my purposes, to just be able to capture the inspiration, it works just fine -

Oops--I didn't see your first post, Jodi. Can we call it a tie? ;-) Jemdandy, part of it was in focus (a small part, I admit)....my old habit of using a wide aperture for artistic effect. And tsk, tsk for assuming my color balance might be off! LOL
