Thanks LauraMaria. Since I'm interested in photography as much as in nature I always try to make something nice out of it. I must say, the early morning (warm sunlight) and dew helped me out here!
Oh gosh that's beautiful... sttweets, I love the way you capture plants, it really makes me want to take my camera out with me and JUST take pictures of all the plants!
