Beginnings

Back to processing flowers from the Garden Tour. Thank you for such encouraging comments about the work ahead. Looking forward to when it is done! But I am relieved that I'll have enough from each setting, though some only barely. This was the only flower that had not yet bloomed on the stalk. I really liked its shape and that it looks like it is just about to unfurl.

@onewing Thanks for your visit as always and apologies for a delayed response. You're right that I rarely post flower photos -- but I do take them fairly often. I usually find other subjects more interesting to work with, but this one that I really liked (and the fact that it was the garden tour) led me to post a few.
