I love yellow flowers! They are so bright they can't help but cheer up a dark, dreary freezing-rain morning! Great shot Kell!!

Kell, what kind of camera do you have? It's time to get another camera and all I take photos of, are flowers. Needless to say, they aren't as good as yours. And yes, I agree, beautiful photo.

Thanks you guys!

Hi Debbie. I have had a few cameras now thru the years, all Canons but one. Tomorrow I am getting a new one, Canon PowerShot S100. I think in 2008 for this photo, I had the Canon PowerShot SD950 IS which gave excellent photos though this one is a bit fuzzy.

I think my favorite pictures were from my Sony DSC-H50. So why I keep buying Canons I know not! I may get another Sony mid size too to update the H50. I like to have a small one to take around just in case a photo opportunity shows up, a midsize when I want to have more power but not size and weight and my DSLR when I go to a botanical garden.
