The flower is beautiful, but more beautiful is the blurred background. The colors there are so vibrant. I like the way you framed the flower in the middle of the two stems. Very creative and well though out.

That is more of my gardens in the background MM. It was a beautiful late summer day when I took this. I have told people that it seems my flowers jump to attention when I'm out and about in them w/ my camera. This little CLEMATIS seed pod just spoke the loudest that day.

Thank you for viewing and commenting.
