A thread for flowers and sundry vegetables.

The first image is gorgeous!

Thanks littleMatt ...I liked it, the light was perfect and I was lucky, took about 6-7 shots and that was the best of them. I would have liked to have the 100mm macro lense I keep procrastinating about buying.

I was shooting with a high film speed (ISO400), and suspect if I had really been thinking about it, I would have dropped it much lower to reduce the graininess.

The flower is Ipomoea purpurea, commonly known here as Morning Glory, and I can see why...it just glows early in the morning (when this pic was taken).
