The stems of these flowers were between 2 and 3 feet tall, so they stood above all the rest of the flowers.

A Thought: You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. ~C. S. Lewis
I really love your flower pictures!
Great quote with them too, speaking as an older one!
Thank you, Deb! I keep reminding myself that Michelangelo was 76 when he painted teh Sistine chapel and Grandma Moses didn’t start painting until she was in her 70′s. Her first solo exibition came in 1940, the year she turned 80!
Lovely colours and composition Ted. I also love the quote.
Thanks, Meanderer! I really appreciate you comments!
Dang, Ted. I am running out of superlatives for your flower pictures. The colors that you get are so rich, and the blossoms pop right out. Amazing! I also like that drop-shadow frame.
Bob, thank you so much for your wonderful comments! The mean a lot to me.
I do like the way the drop shadow is working for my images, so I think that is probabley what I’m going to stick with for a while.
Some flowers are such show off’s eh… lol… No surprise they stood out though, and looking real nice against the green bokeh…
Thanks, Brian! Yeah, these two were almost shouting “pick me…pick me!” How could I resist?
I love your thought today.. I have these flowers in my garden too.. lovely c
Thanks, C! I hope I never get so old that I stop dreaming!
Beautiful! I thought of you right away when I saw the weekly challenge – perfect for you!!
Thanks, Holly! Yeah, this challenge was one that I didn’t have too much trouble getting in.
Absolutely beautiful. I really like they way you composed this image
Thank you, Amber!
Ted, I just got back from a trip down south, I saw so many lovely flowers. I like your composition- including the additional blooms at the base makes this special.
Thanks, Denise!
I think setting new goals or dreaming new dreams keeps us young! Thanks Ted…
How right you are, AJ! I’ve noticed that my goals are not as lofty as they once were, though.
Nice and simple – works very well
Thank you very much, and thanks for stoping by!
