somewhere by the roadside or in a meadow, with daisies (Leucanthemum) blurred in the background.

You're probably right aNNa. Glad you like this one and thanks for your kind comments.

Diese Blume hast du wunderschön aufgenommen lieber Keith,die Farbe dieser Blüte leuchtet sehr schön raus aus diesen Hintergrund mit dem feinen Bokeh,das ist doch kein Problem,wenn du jetzt auch zurückgreifst auf diese Fotos,ein wunderbares Bild ist das von dieser Pflanze :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you like this one Güni............I still have a few shots from last year that I never got round to posting. Thank you so much for your kind and generous comments as always.

Have a lovely evening my friend. Best wishes, Keith.

Well worth viewing out-of-season to buck us up out of the gloom Keith. That being said, the sun has been shining here today :)

Best Wishes. Herb

I have a few photos I took indoors to post yet, but I like to mix it up a bit, so I'm looking back through stuff from last year that I haven't posted yet. It's been hammering down with rain all day today, with more for tomorrow I think. Thanks a lot for dropping in and commenting.

Seeing that they are Scottish thistles was you anywhere near Scotland ! :))
As ever you have done a beautiful shot especially with the shallow dof throwing the background out of focus

PS aka cotton thistles

I haven't been to Scotland since around 2012 James.........and I'm not likely to get back there again either :-(
