I'm not normally a big fan of flower pictures. It is just so easy to take a good flower picture -- God made them so beautiful that it is hard to miss unless you forget to focus, or you move the camera, or you use the flash when you shouldn't. And you are usually outside where it takes so much more effort to get the lighting wrong. So, I won't take any credit for these two shots, but offer them as a reminder to look closely around you ---
It's Spring!
