      Thanks all and I do appreciate the compliments but it's not me it's the flowers. I just try to get the light right to give it that luminescent and contrast and the rest is up to the camera.

      Yes, it is the new camera, Jenny, which is a Pentax K5, but the lens is a 20 year old second hand Tamron 28-70mm macro lens and I love using it as it gives superb colours and gets in really close So they are all hand held shots with no special set up.:dunno::snork:

          Entrance to our driveway. You can see the shade in the front through the arch. And yes last year we trimed it back some. The delivery trucks probably plow into the one on the left sometimes.
