Each spring my enthusiam for warm weather is enhanced by fresh blooms. These little ones are among the first attention-getters. I had to prostrate myself at frog's eye-level to get this shot...to capture the flower was easy...but more difficult was finding b/g that wasn't bare dirt.

This image has a very nice pastel look to it that I reaaly like and the bokeh is superb. Nice job.

Hi Ken

Your work has always inspired me. This post is not an exception. The composition, soft sublime pastel colors and B.G. make this a work of beauty and art.
