Love the photo and haiku. Yippie for spring!
Thank you very much, TBM!
Spring keeps teasing us. We’ve had snow and high winds this week, and more snow coming tonight and over the weekend.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, Sonda!
so beautiful dear Fergie, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you so much, Nia!
oh how beautiful!
Thank you very much, Laura!
Another good looking photo. I like the colors on the one in the upper right corner and the softness of the other flower. I only wish that I had some of your talent. Love it.
Thank you so much, Jim! I practice a lot and still have a long way to go. I was practicing with my macro lens on this one and used textures to soften the one flower even more. I really appreciate the encouraging comment.
thank you for the info and your welcome.
Wow! The colors are amazing, Fergie! Beautiful work.
Thank you so much, Gracie! I hadn’t seen a miniature dahlia until we came across this at the nursery. I love the color of it.
LOVELY!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you very much, Francine!
So so delicate!!! And, still, showing all the strengh of a new blossom, opening to life…Wonderful pic and wonderful colours!
Thank you so much, ilargia! Such wonderful words.
Beautiful combo FM! Margie
Thank you very much, Margie! I really like these miniature dahlias. I’m glad we came across them at the nursery.
“Nourishing warmth” like your image, Fergie! Happy blooming!
🙂
Awww…thank you so much, Marina! Happy blooming to you, also! 🙂
I love the colors Fergie. Simply and beautiful
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Beautifully presented, Fergie. It lifts my spirit.
Thank you so much, Jane! I’m so happy to know that!
Your capture is lovely and heart warming!
Thank you very much, Emille!
Stunningly beautiful … love the colors .. the light … the words.
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Viveka!
Wonderful photo and very nice haiku.
Does this spring arrive?
Thank you so much, Gian Paolo!
Spring keeps teasing us. Just when we think spring has finally arrived, we get snowstorms. We had snow this week already, and more tonight and this weekend. Hopefully spring will arrive soon and stay for a while. This photo was taken last spring. The flowers in our yard haven’t started blooming yet.
Gorgeous!
Thank you very much, Gilly!
nice everything: the flower, the colors, the processing and the words ..
THank you very much, Namaki!
Beautifully done. Thank you FM!
Thank you so much, Amy! This was a fun image to work on.
And this takes centre stage just beautifully! Together with these perfect few words. I am in the process of learning to photograph flowers. 🙂 x
Thank you so much, Christine!
Flowers are certainly more cooperative than birds and wildlife to photograph. I hope we get to see some of your photographs.
Im thinking of starting a separate blog for my photographs, not because they are that good, but because, as with the poetry, its therapy for me.
My hands, particularly the one I need to use most, are very weak I am determined to keep them moving and taking photographs is a real challenge. That’s why I chose flowers as subjects as they will behave and stay still for me! I actually know nothing about photography and only recently acquired a good camera; I am learning but I am still on auto focus! 🙂 x
Great photo. I love the editing.
Thank you so much, Betty!
just superb fergie, love how you have blurred the edges and added your stamp … beautiful!
Thank you so much, Christine! I did enjoy working on this image.

How very very gorgeous!
I’ve woken up to minus 11 C so it’s lovely to see warmth and colour!
Thank you very much, ladyfi!
Brrrrr, that’s cold. I hope it warms up for you soon.
Oh, that is so beautiful Fergie. Love the photo! 🙂 *hugs*
Thank you so much, Sonel! 🙂
You are very welcome hon. 🙂 *hugs*
Lovely colour and composition, Fergiemoto.
(nice Haiku too).
I love the simplicity of your images. They bring out the subject so well.
Thank you so much, Vicki!
This is another thing I enjoy doing – digital editing and photomanipulation. I think we’ll have to look for more of these miniature dahlias at the nursery. I’d like to see what other colors are available.
Lovely..lovely…lovely…
Thank you…thank you…thank you! I really appreciate it, Bulldog!
So well done. Soft and beautiful.
Wonderful color and edit, dear Fergie! xo
