I must admit that I no longer give a reaction on a flower picture. There are just to many on the net and are becoming a little boring but for your first one I make an exception . Just a great macro. Well done.

your shots are so clear and lovely....Calla lilies alway move me as my mom used to quote Katherine Hepburn's lines from 'Stage Door' (1937) - "the calla lilies are in bloom again...." Mom did a great imitation...

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
