Nicole Dextras & The Mystery Photo

Yesterday I posted another lovely photo that I had stumbled upon with no photo credit. Within two hours (wow), fellow blogger teaanddauguries replied with a link to this amazing photo. The artist is Nicole Dextras and the image is titled "Yucca Prom Dress."

Aren't they fabulous?
