That's so interesting -- somehow the flowers look plastic, weird, beautiful. There's something so surreal and beautiful in this shot.

Really nice Foxglove, great exposure and framing. I get them in my garden too, but here (UK) they come out around July.

Great foxglove. Its a nice spring bloom. I work at a nursery in the late spring and all of summer so I can't wait for blooms! Nice work.

@Dan Meyers: they are nice flowers - in the spring our whole mountainside is covered with them - I will post a photo of that shortly
@Daniel: thanks for the comments Daniel!

I suppose this foxglove is in your yard?? And we still have snow. I'm late with my surfing the sites..... It's a beautiful well done image. Sidonie said it much more eloquently than me...
