a pansy in the garden this morning

there was a strong wind blowing and lots of the pansies were waving about
so I waved back real quick with the 500D attached

Nice photo Marie. I like the layers and textures in the flower and the color is super.

Nice shot Marie.

Beautiful colors.

Nice shot Marie, looks like something had a bite out of one of the petals.

Dan

pansies can be such a boring flower, but I retract after seen this beautiful shot.

thanks a lot Gary, Turnerzdad , Dan and Anthony


I loved the bite out of one of the petals Dan

Beautiful close-up Marie, very sharp and colourful.

Just when I think it's all about the art, you come up with a real stunner of a capture. Great shot, Marie.

Really nice shot marie. Color, focus, composition they are on right on.

Lovely shot Marie,

thanks ever so much Sandy , Joe , Dennis and Neill
much appreciated

thanks all

You missed the shot of someone taking a bite out of it?

Lovely colour Marie,nice and crisp image but only the top half of the flower,very shallow DOF?
Sorry i missed this one out before,oh,and tell your caterpillars not to eat your flowers.

I didn't see what ate that chunk out of the pansy
but I did see some snails under the everlasting sweetpea shoots
.....they which are trying to bloom
I rooted the snails out

(and fried them )

just joking

if you gave me a million (of anything) I would not eat snails........
fried or otherwise
( hard enough just looking at them)



the weather has turned very windy wet and wintry in the past week
and the flowers ( + everything) is all muxed up



thank you very much Frank and Dimitry

"nice and crisp image but only the top half of the flower,very shallow DOF?"

):
yes, I noticed that , thanks Dimitry

Nice shot. You couldn't tell there was a ton of wind blowing. Fast shutter speed I assume?
