But this is so perfect and gorgeous Pat! You don't need a new camera. Perfect focus and beautiful color and I can see the details greatly! Superb :-)

No, not humble, and no, not ho-hum.... Big. Beautiful. Colorful. This flower obviously does not apologize for itself, it announces in a clear, bell-like voice: "I have arrived!"

I can't afford a new camera either... just thought I'd tell you that, Momma, so you don't feel so all alone.... ;-)

Well...if you offload a few of your 14 DSLR's...you might be able to afford a 'Good' camera!!...And not so heavy to carry around either!

Why change...this is 'Purfick'!..

A lovely flower sharp in focus, beautiful in colour. Except for some shots in exceptional circumstances it is not so important how modern your camera is, Pat.

This lovely image brings its own sunshine with it - I love it :)

What is behind the camera is more important :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
