Another from the Herb Garden: Barn #6

Uploaded: July 25, 2009 02:11:27

Description

------
BORAGE (rhymes with "Porridge"). A clump, viewed as a whole, might look quite ordinary. But, if the individual flowers and stems are isolated from the large bunch, something entirely wonderful emerges.
---------
Another test of my new Canon EF 85mm F1.2L USM lens. I'm going to have to find a new source of income to support this new love of Primes! Shot raw, handheld in harsh sunshine.
-------
This will be the last of the Barn Tour series (until I run out of new pics).

This is beautiful, Michelle, and the detail amazing.
I had just shot a little blue wildflower at a local lake and the plant here in your image looks very similar. I am attaching mine - could you look at it and tell me if this is a wild version of this same borage? #7782526

Teresa Burnett July 26, 2009
Beautiful capture of this Borage, Michelle!! I just love this stuff, but every so many years have to replant. It will reseed for only so many years, then I have a year without it and then have to go get more seed. I never know which will be the year it decided not to reseed! #7783038
