I really enjoy all your shots with the sharp focus on the flower and muted background. I used to grow a citrus called a Flying Dragon, Poncirus trifoliata, with thorns like that and white flowers, it seems the petals were a little more rounded, but if the leaves are glossy like a citrus that might be it. I find posting once a week but linking as much as I can a good balance too.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-47246195651250251742015-04-14T10:29:13.299-05:002015-04-14T10:29:13.299-05:00Glorious and gorgeous capture, Gail!!!Glorious and gorgeous capture, Gail!!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-6112128979867767242015-04-14T08:46:00.974-05:002015-04-14T08:46:00.974-05:00...and your class learning shines!!!
