I am fortunate to still have my mom with me and in good health. Gardenia is one of her favorites. I'm dedicating this gardenia to her and to all the moms on Caedes who give so much of themselves to all of us day after day and year after year. This Sunday is Mother's Day here in the U.S. so let's celebrate them, remember them and be grateful to and for them. All comments appreciated.

Going to be bold here, hope you don't mind ...

Burn in (Burn Tool in an image editing program/software) ... Clone a section to replace ... whichever and whatever way is easiest ... and it shouldn't be that difficult of an editing task ... and lose that one area at the top, right-hand side. Not sure if it is a petal peeking into frame.

That said ...

Lovely gesture ... and a lovely photo. :o)


Happy Mom's Day to all on site and elsewhere. :o)

What a soft, lovely photograph of this flower. You surely are the master of photographing flowers. I like this one more than most. A very simple but genuine shot. Just gorgeous work.

Truly gorgeous capture and dedication, Kathy! I love how the bloom's thick petals take on the look of ivory porcelain! Finely composed and presented! Faved. Happy Mother's Day! :)
