Thank you for liking “A Glimpse of My World: Downtown Sacramento” and “Fossils.” Wonderful flower photos! 🙂 You did a great job of capturing the beauty of the seemingly delicate and fragile petals of these beautiful flowers.

Thanks. You had some good shots of Sacramento. I had in-laws that lived there so I’ve been a few times. Went to the zoo and Fairytown. 🙂
