One of my favorite things to photograph is flowers in the garden. They can really be beautiful and inspirational at the same time. They remind me that God cares for me because if He can make them so well adorned and lovely, He will provide for me too!

I didn't correct any of these photos in Photoshop. All were taken outdoors in natural light (some with fill flash, however).

This purple Phlox grows in front of our house and is a welcome sight after a hard winter. It reminds me that winter is over for now and summer is on the way!

Creeping phlox plants do best in full sun and in well-drained soils rich in humus. We don't do much to these plants however. They still look pretty good
