1959 Imperial LeBaron Southampton at the Knight Riders Charity Car Show in Longmont. The owner bought it used in 1967 for $350, drove it five years, parked it thirty-two, finished a frame-off restoration in 2008. Still his.

Gladiolus murielae at the Denver Botanic Gardens, still sold as Acidanthera. Six white tepals, one maroon blotch at the throat. Custom masking in post to darken the background and isolate it. Hardy to about 10°F, so it won't winter over in Colorado.
Lantana at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The yellow florets still carry nectar... once a pollinator visits, the floret turns orange then red and stops producing. The whole head works as a map of which flowers are still open for business.
Creamy white water lily at the Denver Botanic Gardens lily pond. Shot last month on the Zf with a 105mm macro, f-mount glass adapted to the body. Got down low from the walkway so the blurred sky reflection on dark water sets off the flower.
