I decided to include some in my bloom day post for similar reasons. It is much easier to make a great shot in closeup. <em>So much easier! I'm glad to hear you're up for the challenge of longshots too - maybe with practice we'll start to think taking them is a piece of cake. -kris</em> I agree that sometimes longshots are called for.

So much easier! I’m glad to hear you’re up for the challenge of longshots too – maybe with practice we’ll start to think taking them is a piece of cake. -kris

I really enjoy seeing the Davidia involucrata in your last post.

Father Hugo's rose is a gorgeous beauty, both up close in flower and further away in form. I have serious space envy right now... I would definitely love to have room for that rose in my garden! You are putting me to shame with these pictures, though, Kris. I rarely show long shots--I might have to remedy that soon. <em>Kim, Our Father Hugos are enormous - I think they could consume even a sizable garden!... And it remains to be seen how diligent I can be about the long shots -- I do so love my close ups... -kris</em> Oh wow.

Kim, Our Father Hugos are enormous – I think they could consume even a sizable garden!… And it remains to be seen how diligent I can be about the long shots — I do so love my close ups… -kris
