Gorgeous capture with lovely depth of field and colour Hazel, If I hand not stuck to the medical professionals advise I would have been a goner in 2005, I now treat every day as a bonus and try to live life to the full:)
Peter, I'm so very glad that you were not a goner in 2005 and I agree with what you say about living life to the full and enjoying every day. Wish I'd been able to have that attitude when I was younger - but I guess that is one of the benefits of getting older!
Phil, thank you - the house is in chaos as the living room wood floor is being renewed, plus the kitchen tap has to be replaced also the flashing around the chimney so I had to grab what camera I could when I saw this flower had opened and now I've remembered what lovely little macros my Fuji X20 takes!
