Just the Two of Us
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

Well, my sweet husband went out and bought me an early Valentine's Day present so I could take pictures tonight, the only time during the week that I would be able to do so. Unfortunately, I had to cut most of them off their stems :-).

Thank you, all, for your comments. There are a lot of ways the picture can be interpreted, all of them valid and several suggested here, but since it was from a Valentine's Day bouquet, I sort of looked at it as representing my husband and myself, and all that goes with that. Helen

Red over White when Passion overwhelms Innocence. I love this this shot.

What a wonderful gift Helen. I love Gerber Daisies and you have captured these beautifully. I love the contrast between the red and cream. Linda L

That's a lot of detail you've captured Helen. I suspect these are already large flowers and by having them so up close makes it more dramatic. Good idea.

Beautiful presentation, Helen. Your husband's gift has been a gift to all of us also :) Bev

Thank goodness for husbands!:) These are twin beauties. Love your composition. Good contrast between the red and white colors. Just a pleasing image to look at.

Nice composition. Your compo sounds for me like the U2 song: Two hearts beat has one.
