Beautiful Tigz. It looks like the center is on stage singing under the spotlight.

Beautiful bloom smile she is!! Wonderful well presented shot Sandi. If I lived by the calendar garden I would have to build a little house there, as I would not want to leave....

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

Sandi - Well done! It iso hard to get the entire flower in focus due to the tall stiles and broad petals. However, you nailed this one. Kudos! Thad
