Hi Laurie...it's been a while since I last visited your blog! Great to see that are still posting fantastic images! Love the the colour and detail in this shot..

Beautiful shot. What type of lighting did you use?
@Anonymous...Thanks. I shot this using 2 diffused sb-800's and one Vivitar speedlight outfitted with Lumiquest softboxes, off camera, in a DIY light tent. I have pocket wizards which are only needed because I have an old Vivitar speedlight which I use in my 3 light set-ups. I don't use the pocket wizards if I am only using the 2 sb-800's. I use the Nikon CLS remote system that is built into the speedlights and cameras in most situations.
I also use "hot lights" with my light tent. Simply get a couple of clamp on work lights at the hardware store or home center like Home Depot (the silver dome, clamp on utility lights) outfit them with some high wattage bulbs...you may want to get a ceramic socket insert for the higher wattage bulbs since the sockets are usually only plastic and can melt with higher wattage bulbs. The ceramic inserts will insulate the plastic socket allowing you to use the higher wattage bulb. You could also use daylight balanced Photo quality CFL bulbs from a camera store which would probably not require the ceramic socket insert.
The light tent was home-made using PVC pipe and white bed sheets. Pretty simple really. If you google around and go on Youtube there are a lot of videos and instructions that show you how to make a light tent. You can see my set-up here:
