The last of the Crocus flower images. They came and went so fast, but it was sure FUN while they lasted!

D200 and 105/2.8 macro handheld; f8, 1/200, -0.7 EV, ISO 400.

Thanks for looking and sharing the first views of Spring with me.

Catherine, I hope that the crocus (what is the plural?) will never stop blooming! The two side by side triangles of green and orange colors are really eyecatching. Beautiful.
Ciao.

Gorgeous Catherine! This is a beautiful shot...I love the DOF and the sharpness that you have on two different blooms.

Thank you so much to everyone for your comments and encouragement about this image and the rest of the Crocus Series. I learn from everyone's images and comments. People tend to thrive when they are in the good company of others. It is that for which I am most grateful.
