@Kylie Greenan: Thanks, Kylie. You asked yesterday about my garden ... well, the truth is most of the pics I post are taken at the Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG in the tags), which is almost my backyard ... just a short walk away. It is truly an oasis of beauty, here, in the middle of a metro area of about 3-million people. I do have a garden, which includes a small water garden with goldfish, but I have to say that since I was bitten by the photography bug (back in January 2008) I have neglected my poor little garden. As always, thanks for your visits and taking time to comment!

Though the flower is beautiful, what I really love is the silky looking background (especially the upper-left corner).

Stunning processing. It looks as if it glows..in a dark night sky.
