Very nice, Betty. I especially like the green background with the pale whites and greens of the flower. So... was there a special occasion that brought you these beautiful blooms?

@Wizened Eye: Thank you very much. Yes, a very special occasion... my daughter graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Bergen Community College. The bouquet was a gift to her that night.

That beautiful bouquet was probably expensive, but you've certainly gotten your mileage out of it. Every photo has been superb! This shot says to me, "Hello world; it's Sunday!"
