Fine set of images Carol. My favorite here is the 4th one. I have also found some good photo ops at nurseries and plan to shoot some more with the macro lens.

Gorgeous captures, and very well-taken. Nicely done, and what a great idea.

Thank you, Bernie! I think pretty flowers give us all a little lift this time of year!

Excellent set Carol - some of my favourite shots have come for garden centres.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the same resource. It isn't possible to grow everything so the variety at a garden center is a welcome addition.

You might also check out a nursery. There is one called Roger's Gardens in Costa Mesa that was even used by my whole camera class. It happens to be a sort of "destination" nursery. If you can't find something somewhere else, that is the place to go.

Another excellent suggestion! Photographers as a group are resourceful and creative!

Carol, what a great assortment beautifully captured! You've struck gold here as I have with the local Super Markets! Go back often and get to know the help... they're curious about what you do and are always friendly once they know your harmless. I even print out a photo for them, now and then, in appreciation for their courtesy! They love that!

Thank you, Bill. That's a great idea to print a shot or two for them. I buy plants there regularly so at least I'm not a stranger. I seldom go to Lowes without making a run through the garden center!
