This is how the Pasque-Flower looks open.
It's been most splendiferously beautiful weather-wise here in central Alberta. Looks like spring is firmly in place for this Victoria Day long weekend. Highs in the upper +20C's. Gotta get me some sunscreen!! LOL So here's to a safe and wonderful Victoria Day long weekend basking in the sun and tossing back a few cold brews!!!
Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)

I've missed you too! But I'm back...perhaps not quite as often as before, but hopefully better in some ways. Finally the brain is getting better, and I have some time to do some fun stuff. Your shots are great - love the framing!

I am so sorry I haven't been around...work has been exhausting and by the time I get home there is too much to do...this and all the others are simply gorgeous. I am so happy to see spring has sprung and you can enjoy the warmth of the sun and beauty of spring! : D

Wonderful shot! It's about time you get some good weather. Temps here will reach over 100 F today. That is too hot! Forget the sunscreen. I'm staying indoors and working in Photoshop!!!

Wow, the colors and detail are wonderful!
17 May 2008 1:27pm
If anything I prefer this version to the previous one. The petals complete the picture for me! What do you think?
17 May 2008 3:57pm
@Ian Bramham: You are right about the petals completing the picture... but it's the abstractness of the deep macro that pulls me in. And sorry I've been a little absent again. Will catch-up with your posts. And Ian... thank you always for your support and encouragement in your comments but also for inspiring posts.. truly!!
Amy, this is wonderful. I like it even better than yesterday's. So you are finally having a heat wave.....so are we. Isn't it nice.

Wow, it looks like it is being shot out of canon. The detail is amazing. Hope your having a fun weekend.
