ReplyDeleteLove the colour, it is an auspicious colour for us Chinese.
what a lovely macro and bokeh.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bokeh and color. By the way - it is snowing like the dickens here, horrible weather throughout the midwest and east coast!
ReplyDeleteNo winter weather worries there! Beautiful flower, beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and the countryside landscape is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about that flower in the first image which makes it seem very small, not sure what it is.
ReplyDeleteI like the landscape, too. I really need to visit Hawai'i one of these days.
So lush and invigorating. The colors are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteInteresting use of depth of field in the first shot. Lovely to look at all that green this morning -- my world is white.
ReplyDeletemakes me sigh -- sure want to have another opportunity to visit Hawaii
ReplyDeletethe previous orchid photos make me think of Alice in Wonderland. I can just see these opening their mouths and singing.
I can see why other people are using your photos - they are outstanding. I work as a gardener for the Smith College Botanic Garden in Northampton, Mass. Please come visit us this spring! www.smith.edu/garden
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a tour.

ReplyDeleteThe flower is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments. It sure was nice waking up to that view.
ReplyDeleteOops.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say hi to Tracey. I am glad to see another professional gardener here. That tour sounds good as we are up in that area a lot.
