One from today,(the crocus) taken at the calendar gardens, it was a beautiful day and 78 degrees.

Thanks for your comments, and I hope your day was a beautiful where you are, as it was here.

Used the 70-300 IS USM lens.

Faved, saved and sent to the art council. This is the most beautiful and well done flower I have seen in a great while and it would be a shame for it not to be in the permanent gallery.

Surely the Crocus is the favorite flower of the frogs Tigz. I agree with BTK. We are having a nice warm day as well.

Sandi, this is really good. The dark green background plays very well with the purple and red. It is also very well composed.

Very beautifully done Sandi - it's 81 here right now but alas both my hubby and I are battling the flu so it's hard to enjoy the nice weather.

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

Fantastic capture and love those beautiful colours and the way the pedals are 2 tones of lavender. Excellent clarity and contrast

Sandi - Nicely presented with the dark background, lit beautifully to show off the striped purple and white petals surrounding the bright stigma. Thad

Love the petals on this baby. The red/orange center is a little blown out but still beautiful.
