What a wonderful set of flowers you have posted - I like all of them and this one is really lovely! Haven't been around so much - but I will get here when I can! The book preview is lovely - I like the layouts you have chosen. I started a Blurb over a year ago and then put it on one side. You've made me want to start again. ;-)

@Anne: Thank you Anne, means alot to me.
When you start again and finish let me know I would LOVE to see it

The colors, here, pulled me in…after not being here in quite some time. Beautiful DOF and composition of what I've come to know through experience (mostly miserable failures) are (shots of flowers) difficult to capture well. I, too, checked out the link to your book…very, very nice…a beautiful collection…and terrific way to pull some of your best work together. Thanks for the shot of color this morning!

@Ron: Thank you very much.
The book was a lot of fun to put together, looking through old pictures bought back some great memories

It should have a smiley face right smack dab in the middle. Heh. Nice shot of this chrysanth, Jen.

These blooms are such a joy . . I used to grow chrysanthemums in my childhood and they survived everything I did to help them along!

It's... wonderful, beautiful.. that subdued light makes this such a delicate image.. at least to my eyes. It's got a mysterious essence I guess. Great dof and framing.

Can't buy any flowers for myself... the cats' will eat them.. little buggers.. sigh.. LOL!!!!

@amy: Thank you!!!! You are too kind!
My cats don't mess with them too badly...house plants they will ruin though. Had this great Palm Tree years ago, Milkie was constantly digging in the dirt and eating the leaves, poor thing didn't survive (the tree not Milkie!)

That's the colour I really need today! Thanks! :)

Absolutely gorgeous yet again. Truly WOW, on so many levels. I have to confess, your flower shots are one of the main inspirations for mine (though mine hardly do any justice to the sheer quality of yours. Seriously) !

@Rebecca: Oh you are too kind!
THANK YOU!
