No special claims of photographic genius - just the result of point and click of some flowers at the Olympic Park. The flowers are absolutely stunning.

I like wild flowers. Thanks for sharing Paul.
those are very pretty
There are a lot of colors there Paul. If Kodak had not gone out of business you could have sold that photo to them. :)
The Olympics seem to be getting on in spite of Mr. Romney's concerns. ;)
I spoke to an American couple (they wanted their photo taken) and said I hoped they'd found things better than some of the press had reported. The husband said that "London is the last place I'd be right now if I was a terrorist.". There was a very clear security presence and extensive checking before anyone got into the Olympic park - but not at all heavy handed.
The flowers are absolutely stunning.
We were VERY lucky to get tickets to the opening ceremony and I can say it was absolutely amazing in the stadium - the atmosphere was electric and the crowd really egging the performers and athletes on. The sound inside the stadium was amazing - 1,000 drummers apparently. The volunteers were dancing all evening. I think they did a superb job and I do understand some parts were a bit quirky! I am in awe of the people involved and I thank them.
If there had been room for the audience to dance, we would have. I know some did. I don't think that any of us that were there will ever forget it or experience such intensity at an event again.
I understand that there's a bit of a controversy because there was a dance sequence in the performance that was in memory of people that had passed on - particularly in conflict, but NBC edited that out of the ceremony entirely. I have no idea why they would have done that.
