This is the lovely center of a tulip from a bunch a friend had on her table. I could not resist taking a photo especially with flash which has highlighted the pollen.

Hi Crusee, Macro photos are fabulous - they make me realise how little of things I have seen during my life. Have a great day. Helen X

Hi Trikki, I will be printing it. I keep paper copies of my faves. In all I have over 6000 photos backed-up on 2 external hard drives and 6 photographic albums. I also upload to a photo sharing site. Its a great hobby for fibro suffers as it can be done even from your armchair - there is always something to look at differently through a lense. Have a great day. Helen X

My orcbid still isn't doing much, that stalk is slowly getting larger but it is a bit like me very sluggish in getting started.x
