@pdulis @valerina @dutchothotmailcom @theredcamera @photographycrazy @radiogirl @jgpittenger @marlboromaam @bubblequeen @milaniet @wyomingsis @taffy @tonygig @momamo @haskar @wakelys @pusspup @merrelyn @santina @thewatersphotos @bkbinthecity @craftymeg @k9photo thanks so much for your kind words and fav's... this is not my typical type of shot with so much out of focus but I felt that it had sort of a whimsical feel to it. This is one of four new native Georgia perennials that I still need to plant... I'm trying to decide on location before getting out my shovel. Thanks again for commenting... most appreciated.
