Isn't she gorgeous. This is one of my favorite plants yet I don't have it growing in my garden. There is something wrong with that picture. There is nothing wrong with your picture for sure. Beautiful.

Hilary said...

I love Queen Anne's Lace.. the roots smell like carrots. :)

Digital Flower Pictures said...

Great shot. I find QAL to be hard to photograph. I would love to get a shot this good.

Reader Wil said...

Great macro photo, Sandy! Thanks for your visit. I wish it were my garden, but it's the French garden of my friends where I stayed for a week.

Carletta said...

Lovely!
I like the non-distracting background.
Looks like Anne has a little visitor. :)

My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.

Delicate is the word. I an not sure if I know this flower, I thought it was a wild one at first. It looks like a wild flower growing where I live. Lovely photo, the flower stands out from the calm background.

Thanks for sharing - and wish you a great week!

Annie said...

Ah, very lovely! Thanks Sandy! You always have a lovely photo for us!

Great close-up, you have manage to catch almost the full flower in the depth-of-field. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

I've always loved Queen Anne's Lace, so delicate and lovely. I have usually seen it as a wild flower but I would love to add it to my garden.

Carver said...

That's a beautiful shot of the Queen Anne's Lace. I love it and let it take over in my garden.

Vicky said...

Queen Ann's lace, such an elegant name for a delicate white flower.

Wow...beautiful picture

Maria Berg said...

Me too, I did not know that geraniums had so many colors on there leaf until I went to that exhibition.

Like you photo, look summery!

Some time it is difficult to think of the things we are blessed for only because we have it so good all the time.
Me too have been playing basket like your dotter - I want to play again but is to old now.

Great macro shot. Well-done.

Mike said...

No idea it was called that...it's so common here, but beautiful :)

anthonynorth said...

Beautiful.

colleen said...

One of my childhood favorites. I'm looking for the one black blossom. I think I see it but maybe it's a bug.

jabblog said...

Beautiful shot. I imagine it attracts many insects.

Lin said...

lovely photo so delicate...

Mojo said...

So that's what that stuff is called. I'd heard the name and seen the flower, but never put the two of them together.

'Round here the name "Queen Anne" is usually followed by "Revenge".

When I moved back east from the west, this was one of the old friends I was happy to meet again!
