Good to see Sandy didn't damage that beauty. Good to see you survived too.

Thomas,
fascinating sights and close ups I was waiting for, guess images taken somewhere in Liguria?

Hello Thomas really good to see such nice plants.

I have been playing with different backgrounds to Crocus images today, this morning it was overcast but when I took
 Crocus asumaniae indoors it didnt take them long to open, first a black background, then white then as soon as the sun came out a completely different image colour still using a white background. I think on balance I prefer image 2.

Hello Thomas,

I hope you had a pleasant stay in Liguria. Nice to see these Crocuses (or is it Croci) in their habitat.

Fascinating Melvyn. I like image 1 altough the contrast between subject and background is maybe a bit to hard .
