Some of my table flowers...Done with macro and DoF. I used a tripod and F22, ISO 100. You all know I love the color purple by now! I could not resist the flowers and how the one looked like it was sticking its tongue out...Like, "Lady will you just take the picture!" lol Too cute....Hope you all have a nice day!
