flower photos

We mostly don't do Valentine's Day in our house, but yesterday when Steve came home from work, he handed me a single white rose and baby's breath wrapped in grocery store cellophane. Since I never get flowers, I have no vases, so I put it in a plastic water bottle and sat it on the kitchen counter. Very chic...

Anyway, this morning I sat it near the back patio doors and took some shots, a couple of which I really like. The closeup is lovely at full screen size. I may use it as my desktop image.

Also snapped a few of the... damn, I can't think of the name. Had it a moment ago, but it's gone now. Anyhow, the shots thru the stems are neat.

Cyclamen! It just popped into my head.
