One of my favorite flowers is the blueberry blossom. These were taken in my back yard (gotta love macro shots in the yard when travel time is scarce).

Thanks, everyone. The buds are like tiny but beautiful lanterns. Then they open and look almost as cool for a day or so, then they drop.
If you have a yard or even a patio or balcony, I highly recommend having at least one blueberry bush. We have this self pollinating variety shown here and another 6 called "Top Hat," which are smaller, thrive in planters and deck pots, and still produce plenty of berries. Their fall color is another attraction, so with three attractions, how can you lose?

Very nice photo Marylynne. I really like the shapes formed by the buds. The DOF blending looks good.
