I just got in a big project with a tight deadline, so my Flickr time is even going to be less than usual, which hasn't been a whole lot recently. Sigh. I’ll try to catch up with you later. If I can't, know how much I appreciate your visits and that I usually try to skim my Contacts pages to see what you're up to, even if I can't drop by.
I'm still having focusing issues with my 450D but realize (I think) that it's me and not the camera. This is one of the better of the 500 shots I've taken so far, usually with pitiful results.

Exquisite! Wonderful framing and clearity! I'm really looking forward to iris time in our garden - but we'll have to wait some more weeks.
Have a great weekend - and take yourself some time to relax from your project!

bevcraigwhite (50 months ago | reply)
it IS a good one !!! keep shooting... I'd be happy with this pic ...I have trouble focussing things at middle close-up range...and it's likely me....it seems to take an awful lot of time and patience...and I often give up...and take a different shot.....

the light falls gently throughout
like a smuggler coming and going unnoticed
the composition and color tightly knit
the choices uncover
a focused intelligence
that speaks volumes of the process
that brought it into being
the selection
the moment
fall lightly
as if a prayer
a favorite sonnet
a proverb
an offering
to a loved one
a piece of scripture
a psalm
a sutra
a wellspring
*this is just beautiful *

its iris time here, too. Your use of f/8 on this shot gives a great balance between seeing the subject clearly and creating a complimentary soft-focus background.
great job!
