Lovely light and lovely white...
Today is my oldest sons first day of his senior year of high school...oh gosh I hope I don't cry! If I am lucky he'll let me take a shot of him before he gets outs the door!
I appreciate each and every visit and each and every comment...Thank you!

@ColNed Pictures: Thanks!
Had to go back and look at your other flowers cos I missed them on the days they were posted. They are absolutely lovely - very delicate and you've got such great detail in them. :-)

@Anne: Thank you Anne...after I got the plants home I just had to pull out my camera and start shooting, the white and greens are just too pretty to not take pictures of them!
Hi Jen, sorry haven't been able to return the visit to your p-blog. Looks like I've missed quite a bit of posts...and gotta catch up. Nice closeup shots of the "twins" here...and congrats to your son...one more year to go of high school...Ah, those were the good ol' days...best wishes on his last year in HS.
I'm hoping to get back to p-blogging soon! Cheers! B-)

@Craiger: The whites can be difficult at times...had to play around with the camera settings and a little pp adjustment. Thanks!
I like the whites in this one. Tell him it will go well with that first day of kindergarten shot.

@Nick: I thought you might : ) Yes it will go well with the other pictures.
Your "twins" may be the best yet in your series. Oh, and there is life after high school; your son will have a great year.

@Viewfinder: Thank you so much!! This one just had a lovely delicate feel to it...I may have to take this series and print for a framed collage in my home.
Awww...it's ok to cry...they grow up so fast. My middle son starts his senior year in a couple of weeks and my youngest is about to start his freshman year...sigh...I can definitely relate. I hope you get the photo.
This is a lovely photo.

Such a lovely sense of freshness in these, Jen...so absolutely clean & bright...I almost started singing "Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me....." :) A real treat!! And congratulations to both mother & son! :)

@Ken McCoy: That's what it reminded me of too! Thanks for the visit Ken!
I am so glad you took the time and commented on my street with plant image,thank you. It brought me to your sight, what a treat. These flowers and the way you've capture them (!) are beautiful and a real treat to the eyes. Well done! When I find out the name I'll let you know.

@FrannyC: You are quite welcome! Keep up the great work! Thank you so much Franny, I truly appreciate your comments!
nice framing....coool macro shot

@jamsheed: Thanks!
Since one cannot edit a reply, I am making another one. After reading your caption, under this image, made me think. I didn't feel like crying at that time of my son's life, but when he went off to college, what a shock I think I did more than cry. Each stage of their lives is a 'growing and breaking away from the nest' and it ain't easy on us mama birds. Have Fun
13 Aug 2007 12:08pm
@FrannyC: Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your story with me. Yes us mama birds never rest do we? but it is oh so satisfying!!!! : )
very pleasing. Beautiful image.
