Much appreciated Rob, thanks. (It was so windy — I won’t admit to the number of shots it took to get one without motion blur.)

Rona, same problem here in Scotland. Very often, patience is the key. You have shown plenty, here! If I aim to shoot outdoor macros / close-ups hand held, I’ll usually take a dozen or more shots for just one frame and I won’t give in unless either the light degrades, the wind picks up or I’m sure I’ve canned one! Well done with this one! I have a soft spot for the “delicate” and short-lived. For me it’s a very touching image. Thank you for sharing it. R.

Interesting — they have so many names. And to add to the list, I’ve found there’s variance among countries.

This really is a delight, Rona. The pure white with the delicate green, all against the wonderful bokeh background. My favourite spring flower
