Here’s is a macro shot of a bougainvillea flower which grows in my back yard. I actually had a few which I took and liked but narrowed it down to this one so I hope I made the right choice! Anyway.. Enjoy :o)

Do I see a window in the reflection? How cool is that?
The pink is striking against the yellow. I simply adore your work. :)
Basia McAuley
Thanks Birgitta! Yup, that’s a window, I always try and take my pikkies near a window to get natural light and so it usually reflects! Thanks for your comments!
