Silver Dollars

I started this page just messing around with paint. No attachment or connection to the red flower at the bottom.

I started thinking about childhood memories and silver dollars popped into my head.

They were one of my favorite plants growing up in Massachusetts. We rarely saw them except during the late summer (I think) during family drives which is what made them so special.
