Default A little sparkle added ............................

........... to the orchid by a florist. Noticed that they had added this sparkle to many of the flowers on show for sale - never seen this before. Looking at it you only saw a small amount of sparkle yet the foto shows that there has been quite a bit spread over the leaves and the flower bud.

All shots taken with my VR 18-105mm lense

then spotted a bed of Japenses Irises at the entranceway to a mall

back to my daughters home and the next door neighbour had this tree with no leaves yet

Hi Bernz! I really like your iris my friend, very colorful and well photographed. I suppose people buy the orchids with the Sparkle, but I'm not sure I'd mess a beautiful orchid up with sparke. That Tree should be in bloom soon shouldn't it?
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Great shots, Bernz! I really love that second one. I could totally see that as a poster with one of those motivational sayings on it!

Thanks Michael - they obviously do - they had the sparkle on lots of different flowers. As to the tree one would hope so. It's late. Cheers, Bernz

Beautiful set of photos. I love the colors in the flowers, but my favorite is the trees.
