They are beautiful.
They don't look that small on your photos. You must have been quite close to them.

They were about 1 1/2" in diameter and I was about as close as I could be and still get a sharp photo.
They're beautiful! You have some nice roses in your area to photograph.

Historic Reynolds Building Recycled into an Hotel & Condominiums!
In the last few months, the historic Reynolds Building, designed by the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates was completed in 1929, and became the headquarters of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in my home town, Winston-Salem, NC; the structure was preserved and converted to condos on the upper floors and the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel on the lower 6 floors - a new restaurant, Katherine Brassiere & Bar has also opened, and named after Katherine Smith Reynolds (wife of R.J. Reynolds, the found of the company).
The building is 314 ft in height - a year later in 1930, the same architectural firm started a new project in NYC, i.e. the construction of the Empire State Building (a little taller at 1,453 ft, including the antenna) - "Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building (link above)." Pics below of both buildings plus a comparison of heights - we've not yet eaten at the restaurant but on our 'to do' list soon! Dave

I can certainly see the definite similarities between the two buildings. It almost looks as if the R.J. Reynolds Building was a proof of concept for the upcoming Empire State Building a year later.Historic Reynolds Building Recycled into an Hotel & Condominiums!

Hi Scifan.. - that Father's Day card story is great! My son is a good half foot taller than me, so I can relate to the height difference -
The building had an indefinite future for a number of years - almost bought by the same people who developed the Proximity & O.Henry Hotels in Greensboro (a frequent overnight visit for us - both have excellent restaurants), but never happened - now, the structure has been preserved - a further achievement in the re-vitalization of our downtown area.
NOW, is the restaurant good? The menu is below - rather eclectic w/ a 'southern' tilt - there are daily oyster selections, and Susan would adore the Lobster Pot Pie, if good; some interesting fish selections for me - we'll give the place a try soon. Dave

A dandelion gone to seed.
I needed something that sparkles for my challenge, something that inspires me. - What inspires women? Shoes. 
So I took my daughter's shoe for my picture.
This was the setup:
iPhone, without additional light
I used two flashlights to brighten the background and get rid of most of the shadow. Here's the final result:

This blackbird was cleaning it's feathers in my backyard, until it noticed that I'm taking pictures, then it turned around to face me, cast an "angry" glance at me (it's her again ), and flew away.
