Spring arrived with a bang. A temperature drop has been announced for next week but only for a few days – winter is definitely over :) While this Amaryllis stigma isn't a part of the current spring explosion, it still symbolizes new life, so I chose it as my Easter greetings image.
You've already seen this same stigma for Macro Mondays' "Wet" theme this January (please see the first comment). I'd photographed it (and the blossom) in several stages of bloom, and this was the earliest stage, with the stigma just beginning to open and curiously taking a first peek into the world around it. What always fascinates me about flowers/plants in close-up is the tiny, often translucent "hair", the trichome, of which this stigma has plenty. I think the trichome makes it look even more like a (friendly) alien life form.
I've kept the Amaryllis blossom which now is shriveled and dried up in the way only flowers can: gracefully and in beauty.
Wishing you (if you celebrate) a Happy Easter, and a wonderful (Sliders) Sunday :)
“Face it. Curiosity will not cause us to die – only lack of it will. Never to want to see the other side of the hill or that improbable country where living is an idyll (although a probable hell) would kill us all. Only the curious have if they live a tale worth telling at all.”
~Alastair Reid
In the late day light, a curious polar bear with a snowy nose approaches closer on a frozen lake, Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba.

Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism.

Still not able to get out and take photos. Maybe once school is out--if I don't hurt too much.
Thanks for Viewing.

Montenegro has a huge cat population. Most are street cats, but they seem healthy and I didn’t see anyone mistreating them.
While in the zodiac we came upon a few hundred walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) hauled out on a beach. Another 50 were in the water and started swimming toward us. Martin Enckell, our expedition leader said they were just curious and we would stay still, for if we approached them they might become aggressive; Many walruses came within 10 feet of us, and some dove under the zodiac and surfaced on the other side, making a loud Whoosh! sound as they exhaled. Although somewhat apprehensive, I trusted Martin, and was also excited about what I was experiencing.
These 3 Birds sat on my neighbors fence looking down at what was below. It was our turtle walking along the edge that always seems to get the curiosity of the birds.-DSC06344

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. -- Albert Einstein
