This is a beautiful set, especially love that clear blue water in the third shot, must be coooold though.

What a gorgeous series! Love the flowers and the goose especially. What's your secret to keeping your hibiscus alive? I brought mine in and it's dying a slow, painful death, lol!

I always love seeing your work Lorraine. I'm glad you brought your Hibisus in out of the cold. It would be a shame to lost something this beautiful. The second shot of the inside is amazing the colour and DoF is stunning. I love the goose too. The water colour is lovely and so much detail in the goose and yet another house that I can't afford lol.. Another excellent set Lorraine.

WoW, Those first two shots are incredible. I like the shot of the Goose also, you were so lucky to catch it standing in the water with the colored leaves on the shore line and the color of the water makes for a picture.

I really dig the second one. Thats clever shooting the center so close up. Really gives a neat effect.

I put mine in front of the window where the sun comes in...they will go dormant over winter but shoot again in spring..we had one for quite a few years until it got too big too drag in and out each winter.
