FEATURED ON THE HOMEPAGE OF FINE ART AMERICA

As guests make their way to the busy holiday kitchen, two plates appear--filled with Christmas cookies! The cookies here include Jam Thumbprint Cookies, made famous as a Pillsbury Bake-off recipe. My kids loved making Jam Thumbprints!

A bright red poinsettia on a treasured plate confirms which holiday is being celebrated. Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. Botanically the plant is known as Euphorbia pulcherrima. The showy part that most people think of as leaves are actually colored bracts, or modified leaves. In these leaves that appeared simply red and green, I even discovered purple. Hidden colors are often found in my nature images, and I delight in these discoveries.
