Description

Whew, I am back!! I sure missed you all!!! I am here but still unpacking and all the fun things that go with moving! I hope to catch up on all your galleries as soon as I can! This is a flower I took while on the way here and I believe it was in Kentucky. I took this hand held, 1/250, F4, ISO200. Have a great day and hope to get on here later!
