Wor-Lasses (the wife) favourite flower!....she has grown these for ages..and had many varieties....This is a suberb shot Ruby.......You got the angle just right..........necely done.......
Very good capture Ruby...great detail and focus is perfectyl on main subject...well done...I was trying to shoot the same species this afternoon but was too windy and I did not have enough patience to wait for wind to calm...gerry..
These Fuschia are just lovely and you've focused very well on them, Ruby. Just me now - I would enjoy seeing something with the same blurred hues on the right as is on the left in this one (like your raspberry). - Patty
This plant really intrigues me in it's design. I think it is one neat plant. i don't know where they grow. Never seen any around here. Pretty capture.

They grow up here in NE and I have a couple on the back deck that I've been babying along all summer. They are so beautiful, and there are many varieties of them around. I've been trying so hard to get a good shot of these beauties all season long, but haven't been able to get anything I'd want to post on here, but Ruby, my hat's off to you on this beautiful capture. You've composed them perfectly, and that's one of the hardest things to do with these elusive flowers. The variety you have taken here, I've only seen a few times, but I'm sure it's not easy to capture these either...you certainly make it look easy...beautiful color and splendid clarity makes this one of my.... and into my... faves ..thanks :)PJ
Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Thanks everyone for all the great comments .... I appreciate it .... Pat these guys are generally seen in hanging baskets here in Ontario ..However in one of the gardens here in Belleville there are bushes of them.. Like PJ said there are many varieties of them ...
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

Everything goes fine, believe me! If life itsself is tough, then fight back. You have nothing to loose, just anything to win. Look at it from the bright side, no worries!
wow! this looked nice until i opened it. and then it looked amazing! very nice use of DOF here. the details are clear, and still retained a nice softness...well done!!!!
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything

This is a great post, Ruby. Fuschia is a favorite of mine although I do not believe I've ever seen this particular variety. It almost reaches out for one's gentle touch. The softened sharpness - if that's possible - and delicate colors contribute to make this an outstanding compostion. Thanks, Ruby...............Neil
