On my way home I stopped to see the flowers and butterfly's and this lone color of purple in a sea of orange and yellow asked to be photographed.

About Railheel:

My name is Gary and I'm a retired railroader. I have always enjoyed photography and now that I have the time I take lots of photos. My wife of 40 years and I travel from our home in Western North Carolina to her home in Ridgecrest Calif. one or more times a year. Our love is going to National Parks as we travel this great land of ours. We have been blessed by seeing over 30 Parks showing Gods Wonders. WeatherUnderground allows me to visit across this country and around the world from my recliner.
