Delicate and Refined To The End

I just LOVE Poinsettias for photos. With over 100 varieties, the photo ops are endless. It's always a challenge to find a new way to capture their uncommon beauty, like this marbled leaf (colored leaves are called bracts.) I owe so many thanks to all of you who have viewed, commented, and Faved my photos of late - I sure do appreciate your interest and time.

This is just beautiful! I had a Poinsettia at Christmas and tried several times to photograph it and I never could get a decent shot. You did a really nice job!
