Growing in my herb garden.
THANK YOU for all the wonderful responses to my last few photos!
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Beautiful sharp detail against that gorgeous background, Anita. Purple and green together is one of my favorite color combinations. My sage (in my garden) is just exploding with color right now.
