Nothing fresh at the moment, so I am reposting this freesia abstract as maybe carrying some hints of the season.

Best wishes for 2011 to all who contribute to the Flora Gallery !!!

Same to you Ian. Great stack control in this. The Yellow wash creates a very effective bg for the violet anthers, as I'm sure you know. (smile) And as usual, I like the feeling of cathedral like space in the image. Superb work.

Great details here, Ian. Love the sparkles on the upper petal. Really a pretty shot. Nice cheery color, too, for winter.

I like the angle and the curious attitude of the stamens.
Best wishes for an happy Christmas time and a productive coming year, full of yellow and blue colors.
