Don't forget to stop and eat the flowers

WENDY .. !!!!!! .. I'M DYING .. LOL .. !!!
so endearing .. we dont have anything approaching the cuteness here .. or anything that you can get close to ..
to have these cute little critters just hanging around .. i'm so jealous ..
it seems like you must be like a squirrel whisperer ..
this is the cutest thing i've seen all day .. and i voted and commented in the baby animals .. !!

my only thought is that ppl could vote you down as it could be seen as more about the squirrel than flowers ..
but to me it totally fits the challenge .. and i would probably have given you a 9 for this .. and probably a 7 for the columbine .. depending on the other entries .. cant get past the incredible cuteness of this .. and that perfect moment you have caught ..
its a more subtle approach to a flower challenge ... which is what i particularly love about this .. its not in your face ..
love your title too .. stop and smell the roses .. hahahahaha .. so funny ..
this has character which most flower photos do not ..

ARE YOU SERIOUS .. 'not do well anyway' .. THIS IS STUNNING ..
and the caps was intentional .. !! ..
the lighting is just amazing .. and the colours .. so compelling ..
i havent seen the squirrel yet .. just the thumb ..
but this to me is ribbon material ..

but what do i know .. !! ... those voters are a crazy bunch .. lol .. ;)

gosh .. what a lovely image this is ..
i am going to give you high praise by saying it looks like a neat ... one of my very favourite photographers for catching ppl being themselves .. often caught unawares ..
the leaves .. on the ground and in the air .. WOW ..
the little girl .. the white dress like a statement .. the happiness that comes from this photo .. sublime .. magic ..
black and white edit .. this is perfection .. :)
