Sunny Side Up

what an amazing and lovely picture, the flowers and the blue sky,i love it. Well done my dear friend, you are the best photographer

Love the transparency of the petals...

I love the angle of this shot

I love it!

awesome shot! the wideness of everything is brilliant! well done.

Great angle!

I like the shadows here, it creates an abstract pattern !

The light reflecting off this petal is amazing!

Found a bug here =)
Nice shot!

my fave part!

love

Brilliant pic !

Foto Perfeita!

Taken at the Lexington Arboretum, Lexington, KY.

Now one of the photos in flickr's home page rotation! Woot!

Several people have asked how this photo was captured, so here goes: Canon 350D with their EF-S 10-22mm (much wideosity), camera hand-held (at arm's length, actually). I took several and this one was my favorite.

Blogged at TripCart.
