Yum! Chives!

I love the chive flower. It's so beautiful and you can dry them upside down SSSKirsten and use them in dried bouquets good for up to one year. :) You did so well capturing this beauty. Wonderful job! I love your BG, too! -Laura

Kirsten- I am loving the effect that the topaz filter has on pictures. I see it used more and more and it does give an special touch of beauty to the pictures. This flower is gorgeous in colors and fasinating details. Excellent lighting and clarity. In particular I love the green lines that come out from it. That is a wonderful touch.
Outstanding work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care.
