very nice pics! I post some pics on my own blog - but I am not so talented. What are your Techniques?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Very pretty little flower. I used to buy coffee with chicory here in the US but it got to be very expensive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brain for your appreciation. To be honest no technique at all, just a lower quality camera and click, click, click that's all.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricia for your comment. I don't think chicory is a rare plant or too expensive, then why it was so expensive?
