I've been trying for years to get a decent bleeding heart shot. They are around for such a short time in May and I live in an area very prone to strong spring winds (AKA the windycity). But today was my day - the first two shots the winds blew and the hearts moved, but I waited them out and Voila!

Congratulations Kathy , this is a beautiful image .
It pops right off the screen .
Perfect lighting and background for these beauties . It is so difficult to shoot flowers in or near The Windy City . WTG !!!

The color and the lighting in this shot are perfect. They are such a beautiful foofy, and I don't see them here in Ohio, but they probably do exist. I saw some a couple of years ago in Delaware though. Well done, Kathy.

You need to go to Washington DC to really find the Bleeding Hearts, Kathy.
They look like they have been hung on a line to dry.
Good shot.

This is just sweet one, dear Kathy.
And you do not have to travel as far Washington DC to get a view of them. They grow downstairs here on our lawn ! :)
Not as good as these ones, because ours grow in shade which they apparently dislike.
