Kim- Another fabulous entry into your already beauitful gallary. Fantastic work with the camera and getting this clear and sharp macro of the flowers and the little visitors. Your lighting and clarity are right on. The shape of the flowers fasinated me and especially the center with the mushroom shaped stigma. That is so cool. Beuatiful colors of the flowers that would brighten any garden. I love the intense sharpness of the ants features as they work to get the goodies.
Remarkable work my friend.
Have yourself a wonderful day, enjoy your weekend. #7829018
