And a tiny fly!

I wish I could get that kind of definition :-(

And a steady hand or tripod. I worked for a professional photographer for a
few years and my shanking hand became so bad he wouldn't even let me
re-touch prints - he said I wasn't concentrating.

Then a brain tumour was found and I had surgery to remove it :-)

The shaking isn't anything like as bad now but my hands aren't steady enough
even with the finest equipment and knowledge to take a good close-up -
except by accident.

My boss, by the way, was very embarrassed!

Barbara...What a beautiful photo!

Bummer, though a good outcome by the looks of it.

I should think so. :-)

Well, if it hadn't been found (accidentally) I'd have become paralysed then
gone mad then died in pretty short order. I'm pleased that I lived long
enough to survive the next drama - breast cancer :-)

We don't have common colds in this house, nobody brings you champagne and
chocolates, might as well have something exciting which elicits sypathy ...

He's still a good friend. It was hard on him because his sister in law had
just died from a brain tumour in the same ward I was in. I think his wife
was upset that I survived when her sister hadn't. Luck of the draw.

Still, all that's nothing to do with gardens :-)

Keep up the good work,

Mary

Nothing will make you appreciate life (and the beauty of gardens) more
than a close brush with death...
