Hi Olivia,

Beautiful all round!

BTW, I gave you a mention on Friday. You don't have to participate in the meme unless you would like to. Your daily photographs are a treat anyway!

Olivia,
I love the gauzy filamentous quality you`ve captured, & against the pastel background, it`s delicateness is accentuated.
Soft beauty, with a slight tarnish from her past.

Blue flax (linum perenne) is one of my very favorite flowers. I just got some for my new front garden. You have caught the magic of the flower and the non-descript but perfect background makes it really pop out. Beautiful!!!
