I grew up in a town where the buttercups were in every open field for miles around. I've never looked at one of these tiny wonders and appreciated the beauty that you have captured here in this little gem - aparently I've truly missed out. Cheers, S.

How sweet and how perfect!!!!! WOW!!! You know, I don't belive I've ever seen one of these humble beauties up this close!! Had no idea there was all this amazing stamen - pistol stuff going on in there!!! When I was a kid, it was always a big deal to put the buttercup under another kid's chin to see the golden reflection ... to find out if the kid "loved butter"!! HA! I know, goofy ... simple pleasures for simple minds, I guess?? Anyhow, I digress ... GREAT, GREAT entry!!!!! Best of luck to ya, hon!!! Hugs ... Lois

Fantastic image! Buttercups, I have found are some of the most difficult flowers to photograph successfully, because of their small size and the fact that they consist entirely of one colour, which allows light to pass through all too well.

I'm still around, it's just that I don't go on Webshots as often as I used to cause my computer is currently slug slow (Dial up) and I usually wait to view webshots photos when I visit my sister and her super fast computer.
