Superb floral close-up.
Like the beautiful blue colour and razor-sharp details.

You're very kind Jaap............I'm pleased you like this one. Many thanks.

Vielleicht solltest Du die Maulwürfe trainieren ... ;-)

You could be right Frank.............if I had any..........I do have squirrels, would they do?

ziet er bijna uit om hem op te eten ;-)

Thanks very much Fred!

Oh,ich kenn das sehr gut lieber Keith,die Motive sind alle am Boden und da muss man nach Unten,ich bin auch meiner Runde bis zu 100 mal in die Knie,aufstehen,das dankt es mir mein Rücken und meine Knie,aber was macht man nicht für solch schöne Motive,auch deine wunderbare Pflanze hast du so bestens ins Bild gebracht,sie haben auch eine sehr schönen Farbe und du hast sie auch sehr schön rausgehoben,mit diesen herrlichen Bokeh und den Farben des Hintergrundes :))

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

Yes, it's hard work Güni, but sometimes we have to suffer for our art.

At least I was in my garden and I could have shouted for my wife to come and help me get up...................but she would have laughed at me :-)))

Glad you like this image.............and thanks for your visit and kind comments always. Much appreciated.

Have a lovely evening and rest your knees and back! Best wishes, Keith.

Proudly alone!
Great image
Fully justifies the effort, Keith

Striking colour and a beautifully crisp capture with the perfect backdrop ,Keith,
Really a wonderful image !
We have them come up between the slabs in the garden, at least the badgers wont dig them up!

I know the feeling, do your knees crack as well ?!

Superb shot Keith.

most beautiful Keith, like a painting

Belles couleurs et un super bokeh*********

It certainly was worth the struggle!

Exquisite capture!
