Flowers for the ladies

The first two photographs for my "special" friends!
This is where I would love to have a macro lens but ..................... You cant have everything in life but I am blessed with good health and a great young lady.

These are all naked out of the camera. No manipulation and I would love to see one of you "Electronic Retouchers" do something to improve the photographs.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there IS anything to "improve" these. Ian... except to smell and have them in person on the table or something!

They are AMAZING. I am hard-pressed to choose a favorite but I love the interesting perspective on some of these (grrr... darn it, I KNOW the name of these flowers too and can't pull it out at the moment...)

You are indeed blessed with much more than a great young lady and good health!
You are blessed with great photographic and "other" talent as well!!

OH and the cactus is really cool, too!!
Can't forget that ... and ferns... I LOVE ferns.

(Remind me to send you the one I did with a palm... similar but not suitable for a family site! *wink* Or maybe I already did... can't remember)

Hibiscus!!

Thank you so much Mommy! I hate when I get a brain fart like that *blush*

But I don't think I've ever seen a yellow one... could be my something new learned today, courtesy of Ian.
*smiles*
How perfect is that!?
