Purple on Top
As Is straight from the camera.
Another of the pansies in my back yard. I was practicing with a new lens Gavin purchased and was quite pleased with the overall results.
Taken with a Canon EOS 450D with a 100mm macro lens.

Strange to think that you have pansies blooming when we’re in mid winter and just planning to prune our rose bushes!
Ruth Maginness replied
Just lucky I guess, they are still blooming and I am preparing to prune my roses too.
