Richness in every way - a photo on Flickriver

            Having problems uploading my photos to Flickr this morning!  A few days ago, I posted a photo of this gorgeous Globe Artichoke, in landscape format.  I found it so hard to decide what shape to post it in, as cropping to a square would have meant cutting off a lot of the glorious bokeh background. So, today, I'm posting another shot taken the same day, but making it square, for a closer look.  Also took a number of photos with the grass behind it, creating a plain green background.  However, a plain background really looks very boring compared to this colourful richness.
