Hoping you are all getting the chance to look through the FOL Flickr gallery this month to see all the amazing flower photos! It is a veritable feast for the eyes. And, as always, there were so many to choose from to focus on this week. But when this one popped up on my computer screen, I knew it was "the one"! This beauty is brought to us by Barbara Carroll and if you haven't had a chance to take a stroll through her Flickr Photostream, it is an absolute must! The bold colors and perfect focus with all that dreamy bokeh in the background was enough to grab my attention but the addition of all those adorable lady bugs made this a real winner. Thank you so much, Barbara, for sharing your beautiful art with us here at FOL.
