I saw this delicate Umbellifer at Boyce Thompson Arboretum and thought it was nicely delicate. Umbellifers are an order of plant that includes parsley, fennel, carrots and about 400 other species. Happy Umbellifer Wednesday

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Pretty bougainvilleas pink.

May you have a beautiful week ahead. ღ

This stunning delicate pink cactus dahlia was growing in a herbaceous border in the garden at Forde Abbey, Dorset.

"Every time I walk through the world, I am awed by what I find. On a winter morning, when it seems too cold and slippery for safe jogging or bicycling, I can still go out and experience the glory of sunlight turning icy branches into strings of sparkling diamonds."

~ Bernie Siegel

 

Have a delicate weekend my dear friends.

A delicate balance and a modicum of patience is required for me to set up this image, me being a sometimes grumpy and impatient chap. The forks were set up on a mirror and the glass ball was adorned with a small star to acknowledge that the festive season is once again upon us.

Arches National Park...Moab, Utah

Croci are popping up along The Backs.

 

Delicate little things of blue and purple.

 

Prepare yourselves, I will bore you with them for the next week.

 

Got to Post&Run, but will catch up later.

This tiny handmade porcelain vase of lilies is no more than 3 cm (1 1/2") as shown in the photo.

 

I collected 12 of these beauties, a different flower for each month of the year. Each unique in its creation and handpainting.

Phlox diffusa, Pacfic Crest Trail, Washington

 

The mountain wildflower species here are diverse and abundant, and I have many favorites among them, but I especially love seeing the carpets of phlox growing profusely on the hillsides along the alpine trails.

 

So soft and delicate in appearance, yet they thrive in some of the harshest conditions, preferring dry slopes, rocks, and gravel, bringing life to terrain that would otherwise seem barren. Their exuberant beauty is often such a contrast to their surroundings, and I admire their ability to bloom with such joy in difficult conditions.

Made the trek to Delicate Arch as the sun was setting. This evening was actually clear, however the smoke from the western fires covers the horizon.

Incredibly delicate little guys - only 2cm tall. We almost missed them.

“It does seem a bit backwards to me that I must treat myself as a precious object when nobody else does.”

A dewy web, held carefully in the fingers of a bush. Foggy morning find on the coast.

Fronds on a native Australian bush looking unusually delicate due to being backlit.

The ultimate southwest icon, Delicate Arch. It's been photographed a million times before, including by me, so there's nothing new in my shot. But it's still pretty cool.

 

You'd need the patience of a saint waiting for a clean shot of the Arch, but I called it quits after a couple of hours and resorted to cloning out a couple of people from a less prominent area.
