Week 16: Flowers

Melinda - Buenos Aires:  "famous" metal flower in BA, that opens in the sun and closes after dark
Cindy-Peoria:  The saying here goes, "April showers brings May flowers".
However, the only thing this week's torrential, April rain brought was record-
breaking floods.  Many homes and businesses along the Illinois River, like this
park, are completely submerged in water.
Nadia - Phoenix: The rose bushes in the front yard are determined to live despite my constant neglect.
Jennifer - Toronto:  Photographing flowers at night is difficult!
Out of about 50 photos, this is the only one that was even slightly in focus!
Simone-NYC: Central Park is gorgeous this week with everything in bloom

Tatiana - Prague: Seems like finally Spring is here
