    Hahahah! Shows you my ignorance for flowers. I did not know these were called geraniums. I always called them million flowers. I should visit all your flower posts. I may learn a lot.

    Your shadow makes it so stunning. I have geraniums in my garden and have never thought of photographing it this way.

    Hi Arija; this is a wonderfully poetic photo with the Geranium casting its shadow; but then you are a very poetic soul aren't you?
    It stands out in its "Einfachheit"!
    Thank you for asking. P. is so far fine, he should get his cast of on the 3.12. How are you going?

    P.S. Doing some catch up on your earlier posts...what fun and excitement and you tell a wonderful story.
    P.P.S. I had a rat squeeze between the wall and stair riser with only it's tail sticking out but when I did what you did only the tail came!
