Rocket flower

My mom has let her rocket plants grow wild, in order to seed them. Aren't these such pretty flowers?


Rocket flower



I took the photo in the early evening, so I set the ISO to 1600, which is the reason for the speckly background.

Stunning picture. I think it's time for me to invest in a "proper" camera. At the moment I use a normal entry level Kodak EasyShare.

I'm always surprized when I visit your blog. I've never seen blossoms like these- how fancy they are!

Wish I had a great cam to get these macro shots.
