Thanks. I felt the same way when I saw those little flowers.

Very nice work Zig. I like your point of view in both, and I think your choice of color for #1 and B&W for #2 brings out the best qualities of each photograph. I appreciate your historical notes too...

Very pretty scenery. We don't see much snow like that around here.

Thank you everyone. The effect I used on these is a variation of the Orton technique. Here's a link: http://www.naturephotographers.net/articles0106/dw0106-1.html

Irma, your shots are very nice. I especially like the first one, and I like the fact that you did them in black and white. Zig, beautiful shots. I love the bleeding hearts. Matt, I think that sec...

Zig, I have found about 5-7 seconds to be the magic number, F/8, ISO 100, and then it's really just see-what-you-get after that. (see link) I press the shutter just before I think they're going to bu...

Here are a few shots I took recently at the Dixon Gardens here in Memphis. I thought the containers were as lovely as the plants in them. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/2955821867_aa86ce6a90.jp...

Beautiful florals Irma. I like the colors and the softness of them.
