My friend Ruby, who I just met last year, has a field of wildflowers that her husband planted for her, on their 47 acre property.

She called me the other day, to tell me they were coming up. She took me for a ride on the gator through the field on the trail that had been made so I could take pictures.

She has 3 small dogs, and we all took the ride around the property, and I loved it. Her one dog Digger who she uses for agility, made his self comfortable on my lap.

She said she would call as more come up, and I'm looking forward to it.

I used the Canon 40D with the Canon 70-200 mm f/4L lens with an f/stop of 4.0.Most of the editing was done in the canon software (Digital Photo Professional)and I shot this in the RAW format.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

That flower stands out so nicely against the blurred green background Sandi. Beautiful colours and a good depth here too.

An absolute work of art, Sandi. I love the placement of the foofy in the shot, and the bokeh is stunning. Well done.

Agent, you are being inconsistent ... First you talk about them 'gators - no reptiles. Then you skip to dogs - no canines either...
Finally you speak about apparatus namely Canons and no artillery shooting follows! LOL
Instead we have a lovely gentle and subtle portrait of a flower whom you did not even mention!!!!
By all means the flower deserves more attention than any 'gators whom Boris would try to fight for sure...:)
Thanks for the beauty, SAS.

Very nice!!! I like that you didn't blur the background completely. It gives it a natural feel. The details on the flower are outstanding. A very pretty postcard image Sandi.
