    I wonder if your garden like mine is delighting in all this lovely rain we have been having, and the cooler spring. So much so that I think we may have to start cutting back to get from the house to the garden.
    after so many dry years it is a delight.

    I love the sunlight coming through the petals of both the roses and the poppies! My favourite shot is the second, the back of the poppy!

    Fantastic dramatic shots! I always like to shoot the flowers when there is a play of light and shadows.

    They do look like painted water colors Arija. So soft and beautiful. I bet your roses are doing well too.
