Up Close and Personal.......


This last Asiatic lily to bloom is a red carpet star.  I was able to capture the textures that come off of this flower. The bloom last a long time surviving many rainy days.  I still have a few buds yet to bloom.

The bud on a knock out rose is a serious looking bud. I know that it isn't any T rose when it blooms but the buds are very well formed.


The wave petunia keeps blooming but the stems do not keep growing.  The petunia is a plain looking flower but their positive feature is that they put out many blooms of the same color.

When doing this post, it is my goal to just share one photo of better quality than maybe a point and shoot photo.  Many times I have to crop down and adjust  a point and shoot into a better quality photo. When I get desperate I do make it happen with the computer program.

Today though I have too many photos that could fit this quaity one spot shot blog.  I shared three and I held back some pretty wonderful sunrise shots for another day.

If this was a competition the lily would be a definite winner.
