Hearts

My heart goes to anyone who has lost a loved one. It seemed appropriate on this day.

Oh my, just a lovely macro. I love opening up the lens and seeing what happens with the DOF. Once in a great while I'll get something almost this good. Well done Lorraine.
Been busy as heck the last number of days, but I'll be back more often :)

A wonderfully soft and romantic image, the rainbow reflection in the beads is enchanting.. the lace in the composition makes me wonder if you are getting ready for a wedding in your family? Beautiful image Lorraine!
