Happy Birthday Mother!

B l a c k M a g i c

My Mother has a birthday today! Happy Birthday!

We are many miles apart & this photo to me represents the closeness we share. Not a day hardly goes by that I don't speak with her on the phone. She views all my photo's but does not comment :-) I love you & have a wonderful Day!

    What a great birthday present! She may not comment on Flickr, I know she tells you how much she likes you photos! A beatiful shot, 'specially on black! You always know just how to get the best points in focus and the background just glitters!

    Beautiful present to your mom!!! She has raised a very talented and kind daughter!
    I love the way the two tulips in focus look like they are cuddling...so perfect!

    Awwwww....
    What a beautiful picture for her! Happy Birthday to your Mom!! I really love the crop that you have used on this, it helps those gorgeous scarlet blooms jump right out of the picture.

    Happy Scarlet Sunday!

    Lovely composition. Excellent light, fantastic detail, oh! the bokeh's not bad either! lol

    Happy birthday to your mum!

    HBD to your Mom, and love these vintagey colors. I know this is pretty simple and straightforward, but I believe it's one of my favorites of yours. The light is so wonderful and I totally dig those muted, fab tones. Also muted RW and Blue is one of my favorite color themes.

  27. Sylvia128 (39 months ago | reply)

    Beautiful flower and lovely bokeh =) This is such a sweet thought, m missing my mom back at home, we haven't see each other for 3 yrs but we chat online everyday which shorten the distance ^^

    Beautiful Image Lynn. I like the colors of bokeh. If u move a bit on left side before taking this shot then it would be more perfect. see my note.
