The shots are just beautiful. I really like the composition of the Japanese anemone and the one of the daffodils.

Beautiful flowers as usual. They all need to be framed and hung on the wall. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful shots and I can certainly relate to the ground thing. I did a indoor shoot last week and I was on the floor. When it came time to get up I had to roll to the nearest chair to get up. Assistants are no help since I weigh around 275 they certainly are not going to left me up. Some say it's hell getting old---my daughter tells me to look at it as a new adventure---damed positive attitudes.......

Don't worry, the first 80 are easy but the trouble starts after you turned 80 :D :D :D

Wonderful shots, I love shooting flowers and at almost 60, I understand what you are saying. I just pray that at 80 I am pushing the button on the camera! Very well done! :D
