Defries gardens or the calendar gardens as it also known.

If you would like to read, and also see some outstanding pictures from this gardens, just click here this site was created by a lady who helps Jon maintain the gardens, and she is very good behind the camera.

Thank you for commenting, and I was not sure about the color of the canvas, but decided to leave it alone. I used one of the macro extension tubes for this capture.

Have a good day.

Sandi, this must be a golden 'Cabbage White', lol.
Excellent photograph.
I've checked out your link, and like to agree that the lady (Pamela Peterson) is very good behind the camera as well.

Thanks for this wonderful post.

Regards, Cornelius.

Awesome composition and presentation. I really like the DOF here and the crisp focus where it should be. I have to agree that Pamela's work is exceptional. Thank you for sharing that link.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.

That is a great looking place to take pictures at Sandi. You have just about everything there in the way of foofies, butterflies, insects, and more. Another great shot here. Beautiful color and clarity.

I really like the shape of the presentations. The butterfly is a more unusual one, at lest for me. The flower color is wonderful with the butterfly color.

I love your choice of selective focus, Tigs. The framing really sets this off beautifully too. Such a lovely garden and lucky to have it nearby. Any of those photos on the website yours?

You nailed this shot, Sandi. The focus is sharp and crystal clear. Love what you did with the exterior blur in post photo work. Fabulous colors, especially in this delicate flower top. To be honest, I'm not a fan of borders and this one detracts from one of your top 10 macros. Simply a stunner. Love the cropping and composition as well. Get rid of the border and you have yourself a 10.
