Is there a word that is superlative to beautiful? Beautiful just doesn't do these images justice. Or else we use the same word too often... But these are simply beautiful,Donna! Wonderful lighting on the flowers, gives them the honor and glow they deserve. the dark background makes the color pop with lovely contrast. The Spiderwort is such a vivid blue and looks regal but I think it needs a new name.:-)

Thanks so much, Angela. I suffered greatly to get that first shot. I stood in a bed of angry fire ants to get it. Now that's either dedication or pure foolishness. LOL
