This is the only thing still blooming in my yard. From 3 different days.

Beautiful flower photos, Jim, as we are used to get from you.
Love the first because of its perfect DOF and lovely bokeh. The water droplets are so sharp.
The second has an interesting new perspective to a flower photo.
The third is nice because of the bright flower against the dark (black) background.
The fourth shows the texture of the petals so nicely, "veined", right?
And the fifth is a nice composition of the two flowers next to each other.

In short: great!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

Just as a note, that last shot was with a 30+ year old manual focus 135mm lens that I paid $14 (shipping included) for on ebay.
