Train Station Petunias

The great thing about summer is that you can find beautiful flowers almost everywhere you go. Case in point are these pink petunias I captured outside of the train station yesterday in the blistering heat. The color splash with the black and white surroundings helps to accentuate the gradation from light pink to deep purple inside the funnel.

Full color reveals many more petunias!

Did you know that petunias are related to tobacco plants?

Well they are!

I photographed the petunias with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.
