   i love them all, but i have learned in my own flower work that the key to a great flower shot is the background. therefore, i would give the prize to the first picture.

      Thank you, Bill. Food for thought! It’s hard for me to turn down that brilliant AZ blue sky.

            WOW! I’m so jealous. What a great shot of the bumble bee and spiky purple flower! You should expand your blog to include photography.

      Hi John, that’s my favorite, too. The sun really lit up buds and I like the contrast between blue and green. Thanks for commenting 🙂

   If only I could take picture of these in my backyard but it’s actually snowing this afternoon 😦 Love them all Cindy, but the pink hydrangea one is my favorite!
