139/365 Petunia

I love the lacy edges of this petunia. It's so thin and delicate that it only takes a breath of a breeze to rustle it.

The petunias are flourishing in this heat and humidity. To look out at the big pot that they share with red geraniums, yellow marigolds and other flowers, the white petunias have nearly taken over.

I don't often count them as one of my favorite flowers; they're much more subtle and don't scream for attention like a lily. But they're charming in their own way.

Camera: Canon 40D with 60mm macro lens, 1/800s, f/2.8 at ISO 100 in direct sunlight at about 7:45 p.m.
