Wow, my neighbor.These are so clear! Great job. I cannot get such clarity on flowers. You are constantly out-doing yourself.

You've captured what looks like a beautiful string of pearls, and an exotic succulent. The colours are soft and subtle, and rich and textured respectively, and it shows that even between showers little gems can be gathered, excellent work as always

Thanks Hayward. The first shot is of bleeding hearts. I just saw the patch of them out there earlier today and had to go grab a picture or two

The first is very artistic and soft while the 2nd is more "architectural" with the bold lines, angles and vibrant color....both very nicely done

Thanks Sue. We lucked out so much with our yard here. When we bought the house it was winter and everything was snow covered. The first spring we were here was truly magic watching this yard come alive. Just so much here, that I am always finding something new and much that I can't identify.
