I have to admit that I don't remember what kind of flower this is, but I do know that this is definitely a macro, not a close-up, just after the rain.

"When we look deeply into the heart of a flower, we see clouds, sunshine, minerals, time, the earth, and everything else in the cosmos in it. Without clouds there could be no rain, and without rain there would be no flower."

Nhat Hanh

There are times that the smallest flowers draw me to them. Perhaps they are singing a quiet siren's song that only I can hear.

"A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is."

Days ago I received two large bouquets of flowers from sweet family members. What a treat to study the details of each blossom. Recently I noticed one of the Lily flowers had finally opened. The sun was streaming in the window so the flower joined me in a celebration of its beauty.

There are flowers so elegant, they really deserve a spotlight.

"Red is the ultimate cure for sadness."

The petals are translucent and as thin as tissue paper. It amazes me that one single flower can hold such beauty.

Actually a green flower bud explodes with varied hues.

Happy Macro Monday!

 

Expect many macro shots this week!

These little beauties jumped out of the archive today and needed to be shared! Mana says it's time for bed now. Night night :)

Bees can become so focused on gathering pollen that they sometimes look as if a somersault is in their future. This bee was too busy to even be bothered by my paparazzi like photography.
