Flowers: Cosmos

It was a really busy day but I strove to be sure to get a photo of the red Cosmos in our yard. The bees were busy and so followed them for a few. Anyways, here are a few flower photos to share with you. :) All taken with the Nikon D70 and Nikon 55-200mm VR lens. Generally for flowers I shoot at the highest zoom to get a nice background blur. Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy.

        Thank you!

          I wanted to thank you all for your comments.  I especially appreciate it as my blog is running a bit slow.   I have distractions and my most recent one was acute appendicitis.  Yes, back in surgery. :)  Thankfully It was caught early and there were no complications.  Last Thursday I felt extremely ill and developed pain in my lower right abdomen.  Friday I felt relatively better but the pain continued.  I did some quick research and then called the hospital and they agree with me that it was suspicious for appendicitis.  We went to ER on Friday evening and they kept me for an early Saturday morning surgery.  All is good!

          Progress is being made on my new studio workspace in the basement.  I am excited.  I am still visualizing and sketching the arrangement.  Today I received my batik starter kit and am reading about batik and getting ideas.  I am looking forward to applying my design styles to batik!  My mom is going to work on some framed quilt images to add to the studio presence.  She does fantastic work.  I should include some images soon of her quilting.  The dream of the Eclectic Studio is becoming slowly realized and I am doing behind the scene preparations.  I hope to do more posting on that if I can keep myself out of the hospital. ;)

          Again, thanks for your visits!
