Whew, how do you catch these gems? You are most proficient! :-)

@Dulcie: I wish it were proficiency but I can only attest to luck!

Linda from Riga/Sigulda, Latvia

wow. this is just so perfect becouse of the low angle and the light falling on the blossom and creating these lovely shadows and the little butterfly looks so cute and tiny on the top of it, great dof as well
