Finding Fun

Our pictures today are abstracts of Canna leaves.  This is one of the ornamental tropical plants - both the leaves and flowers are large and showy and dominate the landscape with their size and vibrant colours.  

I was think thing that there must be a fun website named quick wit.com.  This turns out to not be the case - it is one of those domain lookup websites.  The fun websites are names like witfunfact.com, fact slides.comfun-facts.com, etc.

Factslides.com seem like a good place to check out favourite topics!
