Here's a picture I took this weekend. Hope you all like it. :)

Lovely colour and detail, Deb! I can see that you are enjoying your new camera! Go for it!!
:groupwave:
Love,
Really nice detail in the middle of that flower Deb.
Love the colours too.
Thanks Karen and Pat!
Chrissy Siggee from FaithWriters has agreed to let me use some of her poetry in my photos. I was working on one with this flower last night. I'll post it here as soon as I get Chrissy's approval regarding the way I edited her poem. (It was too long to use the whole poem, so I picked a few fitting lines. I want to make sure she is ok with the changes before showing it online. :) )
Maybe Chrissy Siggee would like to visit our site? Is she interested at all in photography?
Some on our site here don't do photography so she'd be welcome.
I'll let her know about the site. I'm sure how interested she is in photography though. We chat through instant messaging all the time, so she knows I'm trying to grow as a photographer. The other day she said I should insert some of my short devotionals or poems into my pics. I told her that would be nice ~ if I had any! (I mostly just write short fiction on FaithWriters) She was sweet enough to send me links to several of her poems with permission to use them. :)
That's so nice of her Deb!
Now I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Of course if the poem is long, in order for us to be able to read it, you'll have to post a large photo.
Here's the picture with the added text. I used the lighter flower that had purple and green, because it was easier to crop out the ugly leaves on it, plus it had more glistening water drops, which I thought made it look nicer. :)
I'd like to redo it with a slightly lighter shade of purple for the lettering. I think it would be easier to read. Just being too lazy to go back and fix it up yet. lol

Oooh, I do have her permission to use her poems and was thinking to add her credits in the caption, but I should probably add a 'by Chrissy Siggee' to the bottom of the poem as well, huh? :-\
Here's a link to Chrissy's writing on FaithWriters. I'm sure she would love it if anyone expressed interest in using her writing for their photos. She's new to writing, so she's a little lacking in confidence, but her writing is improving fast. It would make her day to know that someone liked her work. :)

That macro is indeed striking. And the poetry with it definitely adds to it. Thank you for sharing these lovely things!
Thanks Al! ;D
Amazing photography as well as the poem. I will be visiting your friend's site soon.
Thanks Judy! :) I'm sure Chrissy would be glad to know you like her writing.
Maybe you have more to share with us?
Actually, I have been so wrapped up in my camera that I haven't written much lately, so I haven't read much on FaithWriters either. But everyone is welcomed to go to FaithWriters on their own to check out Chrissy's poetry as well as the work of tons of other great writers. :)
I do have tons of pictures, just been lazy posting. Is there still a four a day limit in the gallery? I could post some tonight...
Great Post some more! I love the perspective you have with all your work.
Thanks Judy, that's very nice of you to say. :)
