Fab pics yet again jams but I've changed the caption to my post as I think every one missed the point. This isn't my little sister (as I haven't got one!) but my daughter sitting on top of my uncle's Narrow Boat & it's HER little sister pulling a face b behind her . . . lol

The way you photograph your flowers, they almost look "alien" sometimes.

Love the colors and "sharpness" here.

Thanks for sharing your pic!

Happy WW!

Exquisite flowers. You need to get up close like this to appreciate them. They look almost alien. Happy WW

jams o donnell said...

Thanks all. Ruth that is true, given that they are fairly small flowers. My macro lens and ring flash were sound investments!

Beautiful shots

Are the roots edible, then? If it is part of the Leek family? Or is that just the flower name and totally unrelated to onion matters?

I had a house leak once. The landlord never really managed to fix it, and I finally had to move out. What's that? Leek? Oh. Well, that's completely different. <emily_litella_voice> Never mind! </emily_litella_voice>

Beautiful pictures as always, jams.
