Glad you didnt miss this little beauty - she would have felt left out after giving all your attention to the plum blossom!!!
Great colour and very striking - it deserved it's bit of glory too! Well spotted!

Perfectly composed Don. Think I might have brought the gamma done a wee bit but that's jmo. None the less a fine capture especially against the dark background.
What a passionate red she wore!! Isn't this time of year just wondrous?! All the little 'goodies' nature is sending our way after all the brrrrrrr cold we've endured, and now we get the
rewards of all the colours to come! Thank you for a most lovely floral gift...Verena
Do not wait; the time will never be "just right."Start where you are and work with whatever tools you may have at your command,and better tools will be found as you go along.
I'll let you into a well known secret Don
I'm not really a foofy man at all !! the focus is a little shallow here, & I suspect your white balance is off too. However it's colour we all want at this time of the year, & this is a good clean hi def upload too. :o)
