Das ist ja ein sehr schöner Anblick von dieser Pflanze lieber Keith,durch den Regen gibt es schon ein saftiges Grün,toll hast du diese Blüte freigestellt und die Regenperlen machen dein Bild noch schoner und edler,bei mir liegt noch etwas Schnee auf meiner Runde,aber durch die Temperaturen jetzt wird sich das schnell ändern :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

I'm really pleased you like this one Güni........the churchyard is a great location for finding little plants like this and I often have a look around while my wife is in the shops.

Thanks for your visit and lovely comments as always. You're very kind.

We've managed to get through the winter with only one afternoon of snow where I live.........but we've had a very wet winter..!!

Have a lovely evening my friend......best wishes, Keith.

This reminds me that I must get out and capture some of our Spring flowers too before they wither and die. Again, a very capable capture here. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

A beautiful early spring picture, Keith!
The flower of this plant is delightful and so are the droplets on the grass, which is so green!
A charming image, I like the bokeh too!

Prima Fokus auf die Nessel. Tolles, verlaufendes Bokeh mit wunderbaren Wassertropfen. Der Frühling kann kommen ;-)

So early in the year the beauty of the humble nettle can be appreciated. Well taken, the shallow DoF emphasizes the flowers and the waterdrops and creates a soft background!
