My wife suggested that I include a bit of context so you can see the bloom is actually quite tiny.

That is a lovely shot, Gary. The texture is just right.

Bizarrely, our were flowering in the garden in late November. Months ahead of when they should.

Pete - we still have not had a hard freeze here. My wife is wondering if winter is going to show up. No snow on the mountains means no water come fire season.

And that is a scary prospect.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Yup

Great photo capturing the delicate petals Gary, flower portraits are a beautiful piece of art and you have an eye for it.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Thanks Wes. I hadn't held a camera in days since it has been really windy outside. I needed to shoot something...

 

[Wes Hall]

I get that same itch to scratch Gary

Wow... I'd never have realised how small it is without the second photo. That's a great close-up!
