I love that you do tight closeups of things that aren’t flowers. I will have to try that. It has always been flowers only.

Hi Cee
Your Gerbera Daisy is so very lovely, and its encouraging to see your Amaryllis starting to bloom. (I have never had any success with them.)
Here’s something from me for CMMC:

Hi Cee
Georgie the Giraffe brings a big smile every time. My post this week asks what it would feel like if you had a crick in a neck as long as a Great Blue Herons? I’m sure your Georgie would empathize entirely!
Here’s my CMMC Close Up for this week:
