Growing - Round Robin

When I heard about the subject for this weeks Round Robin Challenge I had ideas of sharing some photos of my dog as a puppy growing, or possibly of my own children growing.

Then it hit me, it would mean I'd have to scan photos to do either of those entries. Right now my scanner isn't playing nice. Besides, it would be nice to have some new current photos to use!

As I was walking into the house a few days ago I found my subject for this photo challenge. Off to my right as I enter my house is a large colorful Rhododendron bush.

I photographed the same bud as it grew into this bright large blossom over the week.

  9. I see we had similar ideas... though I couldn't execute the concept in quite the same way. I love the idea of a series like this... it really illustrates the "growth" part of "Growing". Nice work!
