And THIS ONE reminds me of a broach my Grandma had that was made of glass. I use to move the petals around since each one was on a wire. ;)

Beautiful and I bet you had a ton of fun shooting these divine macros! :)))

Mary K. Robison March 28, 2012

Hi, again, Pom!
Anything with a lavender hue is going to suck me into photographing it. Like you, I'se partial to purple. Good thing I never visited your Grandma. She might have ended up brooch-less! ;-D
Thanks, as always, for your friendly observations. #10062586
