Beautiful. I love how you can see the water on the pedals. It draws the viewers eye to explore the details. Background pulls out the soft elegant lines of the flower. You must have a beautiful garden.

A lo0vely shot willie. Your photo is so welcomed here right now.

I am so busy, I have to slow way down on FAR willie. I will be here but only in short spurts. Sometimes daily, and sometimes weekly.

I thought you would wonder what has happened to me, so there it is. Merry Christmas, I will see you before then.

Thank you so much! I know how it is. The Christmas season is demanding of our time, espically with church and family espically grandkids.

A very nice composition.
Flower pops well from the background. Looks like that was due to the nice lighting. Good focus and colours too. Well taken.

A very nice capture here and the drops of water on the Lilly help make this photo. Nice background and super lighting. Good work.

Thanks again. I too this several years ago. We had a bad wind storm early one spring. My house was in the middle of a forest. A lot of big oak trees. The wind was so strong if blew "all" the trees down. One of them which was 4 feet in diameter fell right through my house. I had come to take pictures of all the damage. This was in a garden in my front yard. It was ironic to find something so beautiful in all the devistation. We were out of the house for over 1 year getting it put back together. Now I have a big lawn. There is still some trees but none close to the house.
