Thanks, Randy! What I appreciate most is your visit...I am always pleased when you visit this CLOSE-UP section! Mighty glad to see those beady eyes that make up your avatar!
Well, John, I decided to help Society to prosper in accordance with your suggestion...I have ordered a tree that I am going to plant this spring. It is a Mimosa tree. It is a fast grower and I have every intention of enjoying the hummingbirds as they drink the nectar from it's blooms! Thanks for visiting and commenting!
Found these in the cut flower section of the local grocery store. They are the FRAGRANT STARGAZER LILY. They will truly perfume your entire house! I shot inside the house with only the ambient lighting that came through the kitchen window...had to run up the ISO to 800 to get a speed that I could live with.
Please view in DOWNLOAD mode!
Have a nice day!

Bob, I loved this photo so much I went and found the same lens at a great price. Used but gently and have already fallen in love with it.
