Wow that is a wicked shot Smiley. Beautiful image. Love it.

Thank you so much, Ecobird. I appreciate that.

I was so amazed by this image that I didn't know what to say. But now I see that Ecobird had said exactly what I should have said! Thank you Ecobird :)

Splendid details...great eye!

Thank you so much. I looked at it today, and it is beginning to open. I feel lucky to have caught it at this exact moment in its life.

more wrinkles than an old one ;-)

That's true, somewhat like a newborn. Thanks, Berny.

fine details, strange looking flower.
well done.

thanks for visit, faves and invite

Thanks very much, Bertapei!

You have been in my yard ! Didn't knock on the door or ring the doorbell, either.
I had /have one of these over in the Dogwood Patch Garden -- it wasn't there last year. It was next to the porch snuggled with the Lilac shrub.
Have been calling it the I-Don't-Know-Plant ....
But, it has now opened....

Next time, ring the bell !

Thank you, Peggy! I didn't want to trouble you. Let me know how the sunflower and lilac get along.

That was last year and I thought things well.... perhaps the young'uns wante to move (perish that word) -- they are in the shade of the Dogwood trees -- not even close to the homestead... kids ..

We can even go for a drive to Saxapahaw and have lunch at the 5 Star Grocery Store/ Gas Station !

Saxapahaw? Great name! Like Yoknapatawpha.

Does 5 Star have a little hot table, where they make breakfast and lunch? Just wondering.

Great detail...

Thanks very much, tatranka7!

Nature's art; very well captured image, Smiley!
