    Fantastic photograhs EJ. Your cherry is way ahead of mine. Mine is only just beginning to show signs of new life.

    Oh Biita, thank you for the compliment, but no. For every one nice shot, I have taken about 100 and binned probably 99! I use the magnifying glass setting on my camera when taking pics of flowers as it means I can get up nice and close and keep the sharpness.

    I always loose my pics when I get up too close. My camera is new though and I'm still learning how to use it properly. I love all your pics. I would have bet you were a pro also. Thanks for sharing.

    Lovely blossoms, EJ

    The auricula primula looks like it is velvet!
