    Rich,
    I love the dew-dampened Forget-me-nots...how they begin in lavender and open to the most splendid periwinkle blue. Good work!!

    Mary:

    Good observation on the Forget-me-nots. You know exactly where I photographed these beauties near Wabasis Lake. We'll go back next summer to see them again.
