      Oh, this is just a delicious journey into flower-magic. Thank you for all the comments of the animals at the lotus pond this morning. You might want to see it all as a pull-down story - all below the first photo of the frog speaking... Its also a little journey

      Gorgeous color and wonderful DOF! I always wanted to have poppies in my garden, but I've heard that they are poisonous, and with goats that tend to head straight to the garden when they sneak out of their pens, I can't risk it.

    43. Laurie York (61 months ago | reply)

      Boered: Carmen and I have our gardens fenced so that deer, goats and sheep can't get in. I don't know if they'd go for the poppies, but they sure love the roses!!!

    44. dreamscapepics (61 months ago | reply)

      Beautiful in every way, like paper, it is so delicate!
      You are a fantastic artist!
