      sooo beautiful!

    3. diesmali (43 months ago | reply)

      Thank you for trying to please me too sometimes ;) See how lovely it is all on its own??
      Subtle approach to this flower that doesn't display its beauty in an obvious way but captures it heart and veins from a different side that shows us its qualities. Lovely details and colours
      Those three raindrops in the bokeh are lovely!

      Very nice work Ilse. I like the light shining through.
      Have a nice weekend. It is pouring over here. I think buying the new lens might be a drought breaker. LOL
