Photo Stories: Eager for Fame

Title: Eager for Fame | Bright pink and proud of it! This flower wanted to be seen.
Have you ever wanted to be the center of attention? Well I think this flower did on the sunny day of November 7, 2008. This particular flower wasn't as difficult to get to as some others. This one was planted right beside my friend's house and I probably walked a whole 30 yards to take this shot. I remember I took several photos that day; I just don't remember the rest of the day very well. I think the day was unusually warm, but I may be influenced by the look of the photo. Anyway I have at least one more picture from that day that I'm going to show you soon!

Below is a video of me editing this photo. Let my know if you want to see more like it.

Nice photo! (Makes me long for spring again.) I love beautiful photos that you don't have to walk too far to take :) Unfortunately it doesn't always work that way. Any idea what kind of flower this is?

I liked this! The picture is so pretty too. Just a thought, but your second closing in the video was kind of like an edit in a movie about editing -- and we got to see it -- just like with the picture!

Thanks for commenting everyone!
Glad the ending made you laugh. I think the flower is a mum. It was about the size of a half-dollar coin. I think I'll make some more of these videos from time to time so keep an eye out. :)
