    All the photos are great and it's very difficult for me to really explain why I prefer these ones, just say my feelings when I look on them.

    1st... Wolfiekate.... Scattered seeds... (The autumn sun!)

    2nd ... Gogs...Seed Gems...( The precious finery of Nature)

    3rd...Naylors Ark...Sweet Pea Pod...(Subtle harmony of colours and forms)
