I have a lot of a work and a very little time for taking photos and for TN. I took these photo on last Sunday during a short ;-( walk. I hope you like it.

Heartsease (Viola tricolor) (in Polish: fiolek trojbarwny)
Family: Violaceae (in Polish Fiolkowate)
is a common European wild flower, growing as an annual or short-lived perennial. It has been introduced into North America, where it has spread widely, and is known as the Johnny Jump Up (though this name is also applied to similar species such as the Yellow Pansy). It is the progenitor of the cultivated Pansy, and is therefore sometimes called Wild Pansy; before the cultivated Pansies were developed, "Pansy" was an alternative name for the wild form.

Heartsease is a small plant of creeping habit, reaching at most 15cm in height, with flowers about 1.5 cm in diameter. It grows in short grassland on farms and wasteland, chiefly on acid or neutral soils. It is usually found in partial shade. It flowers from April to September. The flowers can be purple, blue, yellow or white.

hello Krzysztof,
Very fine and subtle approach of this tiny flower.
I like the composition and the tender colours.
Very well seen

Very nicely seen. Much better than the ones I was just looking at in my wildflower id book. I could not find ID for my post today, unusual for me...Usually I am at very wrong...wrong!:-) I remember these well as a child and now see them once in a while....usually in gardens...but they do grow wild in the Palouse as well...Good depth of field here...Very nice image. You should send it to the book people...they need it I can tell you that.

Hello Krzysztof,
Fine portrait of the flower of Viola tricolor, that we in Swedish call Mother-in-law's violet, I don't know why!
I like how you have isolated the violet with good focusing and sharpness against an OOF natural BG.
TFS this beauty and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hallo Krzysztof
I have also been missing your lovely images. Especially the beautiful landscapes. A delightful image of a very beautiful flower. Very nice and appealing details and colours to admire and observe. The fine, delicate structures and colours of the flower are beautifully shown. The whole composition makes it a very attractive photo and most pleasant to look at. Thanks for sharing and have a most enjoyable day.
Anna

Hi Krzysztof, elegant flower with splendid colors, perfect focus, fine details and superb sharpness, beautiful composition with lovely blurry BG, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Bellissima composizione per questo grazioso fiorellino, eccellente nitidezza, fantastico sfondo per questi splendidi colori pieni di luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Chris!
Long time no see! I see, you have been busy these days. Reasonable enough, but we miss you all the same.
This is a great picture of a lovely wild flower. Get more of them on your short walks and show us.
Very well composed sharp and colourful image.
Keep sparing some time for TN and all the best.

Hi Chris,
Great work on this tiny flower, lovely color.
Good exposure, detail, and DOF, I like your composition also :)
I've tried my hand at some small flowers recently as well. I think the best light is early to mid-morning, with the light from the side.
Well done & TFS!

Hello Krzysz,
This is one of my favourite wild flowers - it seems to thrive on a speck of dust and is quite common on rocks and sand here. Excellent sharp capture in beautiful light and the colours are lovely! Very well composed too!
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Krzysztof
I like it so much! How beautiful in shape and colors and what a lovely composition! A lovely picture. Good that you made a little time to show it.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Greetings

Sencillez pero gran elegancia Krzysztof. Gran sensación de ralismo, no solamente por los colores , sino por lo bien plasmada que está la potente luz de ese momento.
Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Cześć Krzysiu
Fajne zdjęcie. Bardzo podobają mi się kolory - są ciepłe, jasne, ale nie rażące. Dobra kompozycja z kwiatkiem nie w samym centrum. No i bardzo dobra głębia ostrości, tak, że widać nawet pyłek na płatkach, a jednocześnie tło jest rozmyte i jednolite. Dobra robota.
Pozdrawiam
Ania

Hi Krzysztof.
Despite your seldom visit you continue to make glad us by extremely wonderful shots. This is a true masterpiece. Simply brilliant reproduction of all beauties of the flower. Lights, colours, razor sharpness of the petals and flower heart as well as smoothness and colourfulness of the BG are outstanding and fine. Bravo. Great spring/summer job. My best regards and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Krzysztof,
marvellous painting of light. Well composed, very clear, showing so many fine details in a really three-dimensional way. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter
