There is a mythical tale of a donkey who starved to death between two hay bales because he couldn't decide which one to eat first. I haven't been posting much but its not for a lack of subjects/opportunities but rather the incredible abundance we have had in our garden this Spring. I've done a lot of shooting, so much so that I've had little time for editing and processing. I've decided to put together what I hope will be a long series to show some of and honor the work of my master gardener Chrissy who has done a fabulous job this year. All comments welcome. >=))>

Bill,

You chose wisely by picking this flower to photograph. It snugly fits in the frame which works well and you nailed the whites perfectly.......................Jim

A classic rendering, Bill. Such lovely whites, a neat placement of the flower in the frame and a background which allows the anthers to sparkle.
