I love these photos, arigatou.
Why do you choose to photograph alpine plants? Are they simply part of a larger set of various kinds of images, or just alpines?
Thank you for your comment.
My major interest is in wild flowers, so I am tend to take too many close-up pictures of flowers unconsciously.
I'm thinking of taking more pictures showing their habitat, too.
