Good shape and beautiful light color make this one of my favs. Color reminds me the cotton candy of my childhood!
Ah! And the fragrance! I still can smell the fragrance!! Yesterday I caught my wife saying to these flowers something like 'Hey, it seems that you wanna steal all the fragrances in the world! Only you wanna be perfumed?'

Here it its:

Beautiful. As usual, terrific culture. I like your photography. What camera and lens are you using?

Beautiful lip. Wish I could get a wiff of it. Mel.. you shoot some pretty great pics too. I'd like to know what both your cameras and lenses are?

Thank you Hawaiian S and Swamper!
My camera is a Sony DSC-H5, 7.2 mpx equiped with Carls Zeiss 2,8-3,7 / 6-72 Vario-Tessar lens. Not a pro, but also not a point-and-shoot

Very nice Mauro. I have been traveling for the past month, so I hope you haven't posted too many of your beauties that I might have missed. I'm back in the loop now but will be looking forward to MORE!!!!
