"Forget the Turkey, Show Me the Fuchsia!" by sunnygreenwood

"Forget the Turkey, Show Me the Fuchsia!"

We visited our grandson on holiday Monday and while others were toiling over the preparations for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, I was wandering the property, looking for something interesting to capture "on film". Turkey was not on the mind of this little guy, rather it was the fuchsia! Fuchsia are one of my favourite annuals, and hands down, ladybugs are my favourite insect. This pic was meant to be.

Many thanks for dropping by.
This is just too perfect - What a combo - such a fabulous close up and color.

Cool shot. Did you silo it and drop it into a different background? Love the closeup.
October 12th, 2011  
@falcon11 thanks allison! i'd love to hear about silo. nothing fancy here at all. it's the original background of brown leaves and grey siding. using the zoom with the macro setting blurs the background. i darkened it a bit.
October 12th, 2011  
Wonderful closeup - great detail!

Wow, great capture! You were at the right place at the right time.
October 13th, 2011  
Simply perfection, Anne! And how pleased were you with that watermark/signature? I share your love of fuchsias and lady bugs! My grandmother always had at least one fuchsia and I read a book I adored years ago called "Fifty Acres and a Poodle" (I think) that cemented my love for ladybugs. This one was an instant fave.
