@Craig: Thanks, Craig... I've always used automatic focus thinking I couldn't see well enough for manual. Well, I took the plunge and switch, and I love manual focus. I'm learning so much more!
@Teresa Durães: Thank you, Teresa.
@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael.

Wonderful colors and good composition - I think I prefer yesterday's a bit more with the sharper focus and the colorful background.

@Chris: Yes, yesterday's shot was sharper. The wind was blowing a little for this shot, and I tried waiting for a lull. Thank you for your comment.
@willow: Thank you, willow.

Pretty Betty! I just told my husband today that I really would like to buy a pink one for our yard. We have white, but no pinks!

@Tracey: We have a street here in the area that has one pink one after another, and it really looks pretty.
@Sandrine: Thanks, Sandrine.

This is beautiful, Betty. ......... I'm still partial to the purity of the white, though.

@Judy: Thanks, Judy... this tree has special meaning for me. We gave it to our mother on Mother's Day about 20 years ago. My mother has not been in a nursing home for four years now with Alzheimers and she doesn't know us anymore.
@Earnest: Thank you, Earnest.
@Michael Rawluk: Thank you, it's a beautiful tree... but a pain to mow under!
@Brittney: Thanks, Brittney.

Terrific shot, Betty ... perfect DOF ... the light is perfect – I don't think I see a single shadow ... truly stunning!

Great job on a manual focus - can be so tough when outdoors!

@Betsy Barron: Thank you, Betsy. I've been practicing quite a bit. And the day I took this shot it was pretty windy.
