lass ihn frei !!!!!

What a beautiful series, Heidi! I love looking at both the beautiful glass and the flowers! Well captured. :-)

Schöne Serie, Heidi ! Der Frühling ist Klasse !

Superbe. Nicole.

Heidi, this is just FANTASTIC!! I adore this darling little birdy. Your photography really show it off so perfectly--love your sliver-thin dof!. The details inside the glass are wonderful to look at and the colorful spots on its body add to the beauty. It's a wonderful figurine and I'm so glad you've shared it as your main photo.

Every last one of your insets is totally outstanding, remarkable, breathtaking and beautiful. You found so many gorgeous subjects...crisp focus, wonderful details and oh my, look at that bokeh! I love the colors in each one...was that ladybug truly red like that??? Ours are burnt orange at their reddest but usually a bright orange. Loved your holly-type flower buds...on our property we have a plant called "Oregon Grape"--named for the grape-shape of the buds which looks like yours, though I think the flowers will be different...you can take a peeky if you like (top of search) www.ipernity.com/search/photo?w=290645&q=Oregon+Grape
The blue flowers are also just as pretty as can be and remind me of our stunning Great Camas blossoms which won't be showing up for probably a month I'd guess. ( www.ipernity.com/search/photo?opt=&q=Great+Camas&w=290645&t=0&lic=&s=0 ) How wonderful to have all of these beautiful choices...are they all on your property I wonder?

Thanks so much for your lovely comment about my parade of flowers and my little hoverfly! :) Yes, when it's windy, all bets are off. It's extremely discouraging in those conditions and the best luck is a very fast shutter speed and/or protected nooks and crannies. And patience when waiting for a gust to pass. Insects, like you say, are a frustrating challenge!

I love that we share the same beloved lens. Have you always had it? Forgive me if we've discussed this in the past, lol...swiss cheese for a memory here! :) It's very hard to separate me from that lens, though we have other totally awesome lenses--the 50mm 1.4 is incredible. Our Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L is also amazing, and our wide-angle EF 17-40mm f/4L is terrific too. It's wonderful when I can bear to change lenses but that 100mm is my heart and soul!

Thanks again for sharing and for your wonderful presentation! :)

que c'est adorable et très bien réalisé !! Une série magnifique

Herrliche Frühlingsserie!

JOLIES

when I see pictures like this, I sometimes think should I buy a SLR again, like in the film time.
Lovely picture

A lovely series full of colour and the spirit of spring.

These are all so beautiful, Heidi. I can't possibly choose a favorite. ♥ ♥ ♥
