You even manage to find interesting images from a hospital bed! I’m just blown away!

If there ever was a DU photo contest with the theme of “Angles” ….. I think you’d definitely make the top choices.

The first photo with the pink flower is a study in shape contrasts. Grass blades criss-crossing, almost oval blades (with a tip on them), and round buds.

The last one, with the bright yellow umbrella, is a color contrast.
