Another from my walk in the Gardens. Helleborus is a member of the buttercup family, and is poinsonous. Legend has it that Alexander The Great died from an overdose when he used it for medication. . .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I really like the subtle neutral tonalities of this piece!! I'd perhaps back the frame off a wee bit more, I like it, just a smidge tight perhaps. Again, the shades of the color at hand are calming and warming!!

This flower is very crisp and "studious", so to speak. I love the picture and nice corresponding color. Terrific picture Eve.

A beginner with photography. I just got my Nikon D40 a few days ago and I am absolutely obsessed with it. Any comments on my pictures is well appreciated.
