The hollyhocks are just starting to bloom - I love these tall flowers in our garden.
Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. "Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything." Psalm 46:8-10
I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back. I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

So soft and lovely ... the higher ISO no doubt helped in the lower light.

@Judy: Thanks Judy - it wasn't that dark I think - not sure why the camera chose the slightly higher ISO.....
They are so soft and pretty. They always remind me of olden days and English country gardens. A great capture and it shows the delicate veins in the blossoms.
