Colors of Alaska

Here are some of the Colors that Alaska has to offer!  These were taken at the gardens in downtown Anchorage.  The flowers are HUGE!!  My thinking is they are so big because they have such long days with sunlight, which lets the plants get bigger??? 
Anywho, I love all the vibrant colors! Enjoy!

Okay, you photoshop junkies...See that little hair lookin string thingy?  How can I remove that in Photoshop Elements?  I tried the band-aid lookin button, but that just made a big mess.  I love this picture even with the weirdo stringy thing, but think I would love it even more if I could remove it. 

I love taking flower pictures!
