Luxuriant colorful heads of soft velvety marigolds are just the sight for sore eyes. These shots were taken from one of our work venues, a private vacation resort owned by one of our participants. I can't say that the resort was well-designed but I do admire the owner's penchant for flowering plants -- which more than makes up for the man-made structures. Well, nature always trumps anything man-made, I should say.
