Description

This floral shot I dedicate to Rachel a.k.a. WiserAngel. She loves blue flowers and what flower is deeper blue than a gentian? Enjoy it, Rachel, it's all yours! Even in october several flowers still bloom here. Like this fringed gentian (Gentiana ciliata), that blooms from august to october, in the valleys and on the mountains. The petals are folded in a special way, from being turned around into a star-form, so I decided to show you a top-view (inset) as well. Buds are just like people, they need time to unfold before they fully bloom! :) Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 70 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

umph...for Rachel huh...well then I just won't comment on how purty the color is, or the fact that your scans have improved so much I can hardly tell you use film if you don't keep reminding us of your scanning skills and such...heck no, I just won't say anything, seeing that it's all "RACHEL'S" I won't even leave my trademark []/;^) hat tip smile...I'll use it on some other image that's not dedicated to anyone in particular (lol)
