Flower of the week

[slomotion]

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

[Trikki]

That is truly spectacular....certainly worth saving, printing off on nice glossy photo paper and framing....I love it...Thank you xx

[slomotion in reply to Trikki]

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

[Trikki in reply to slomotion]

How wonderful....You are right about good for fibro peeps,,I do my painting and sketching which distracts from life's pain...not into knitting or crochet!!! x

[slomotion in reply to Trikki]

Hi Trikki, great that you are painting and sketching. Im terrible at it but I find it so soothing - so I keep doing it. I have always knitted - but use the same 2 patterns - Im long so bought woollies dont fit! Have a great day, Helen X

Hi BlueMermaid - sounds like you are going to have a great display.

Hope you take some photos. Have a great day. Helen X

[rosewine in reply to BlueMermaid3]

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

[slomotion in reply to rosewine]

Hi rosewine - I'm sure you will both get there in the end. Well, its what I tell myself when I try and get out of bed in the morning! Have a great day. Helen X
