Oh my Joyce this is just gorgeous - I'm focused just on the bottom third of this at the moment and I'm in awe over the incredible highlights, the hint of leaves at the bottom. Moving up - the subtle background is perfect and the light even more compelling. Wow - so beautiful!!! Love this my friend. F/V FB G+

Beautiful macro capture Joyce! Interesting story--we have some Fuchsias that are still blooming like crazy even though we've had several nights in the low 30s and all the other flowers are long gone--what's up with that?! f/v
