Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 12 February 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
Found these lovely blue Sea Holly in a local market and brought some red berries to go with them. This shot is as taken.
I don't know if anyone noticed my last two posts, the first of a Bat and the second a Robin, "Bat Man & Robin" LOL, a total coincidence.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)

Hi MaryB, I don't believe in coincidences, it had to be like that! With this picture I feel a feast of recognition, of dunes and sea, wonderful plant I love it and the way you photographed it, too!

"Bat Man & Robin" was a cool touch. I love the playfulness of your images.

Touching this spiney thistle looks to be a pretty serious affair. Better call in the Caped Crusader and his friend Robin. ;^)

Very great macro
13 Feb 2008 2:46pm
This one´s great! At first sight I thought it was thistle. Framing is excellent here and also the dof!
