Wow! The focus and pattern just pull one into the center of the screen. I needed to hold on to the edge of my chair to resist. And, again

I am just awed by the quotation you found to put with it. This is an example of extreme visual and verbal talent. It is a good day when you post a new one.

Thank you everybody for your comments and faves on this picture!

Emptybelly, Dr Tao, Iawatha - thank you so much for the group invites!

Bulldog - the oscar is greatly appreciated - Thank you!

NMBphotography - I only have a little idiot camera not a DSLR - I used the macro setting on that.

Droismarais - my hope was to keep capturing this flower as it opened but its been pissing down with rain! I'll try my best tho!

David G Kelly - I have exhibited ;-) but never with my photos! Do you seriously think my pictures are worthy?!

P Doodle - You write the lovliest things - I'm so flattered by your comment :-)

THANK YOU ALL!
