    We have forget me nots too. I love them, and that is why I go to the mountains to see them. Your Macro is really nice.

    Pick some for a small bouquet to brighten my breakfast table.

    I simply love them! I don't think I have come closer to any of these flowers before.

    Macro does make a difference.

    They are so pretty but became so invasive in my parent's garden.

    These flowers have a special meaning to me as they grew at my grandfather's house when I was very little. Great memory. The "macro" was a great idea for these!

    These are flowers not easily forgotten. It is pretty wet around here too at the moment so I'll probably be able to find some :-)

    PS Thank you for the comments! The photo of the ceiling was taken standing "as usual" I used a Canon G11 which has a screen at the rear that can be tilted and swivelled to almost any position. That makes for some interesting possibilities.

    Sweet! I think Forget-me-nots were used in lots of Victorian designs.

    Nicely done! I wish I have more flowers in my garden to photograph, but I am really not much of a gardener! :( so thanks for sharing yours with us!

    These are native wildflowers here in England, but I understand they have escaped in other places and naturalised themselves!

    I love them. SO pretty - we have quite a lot in our garden, where (of course) they grow bigger and stronger than in the wild.

    First I want to apologize for being so slow making it around, my son got married over the weekend and the extra house guests involved have made me a little slower than usual.

    I rarely see forget-me-nots but always love stumbling on them. Lovely captures!
