On Flowers & Being All Things Serious

I had to post this absolutely stunning shot my friend Scott took en route from Portrero Hill (yes, that's a part of San Francisco for those from Europe, Australia and the east coast) to my house by foot. Taken on a pretty basic Nikon with no filter or special lens.

For his entire flower photo set of that walk, check out his flickr stream. He also has a great sense of humor if you want to check out his meeting preparation with Pelosi's Deputy District Director post. There's also a serious link from that post about his actual meeting.
