Delta Arrowhead (Sagittaria platyphylla). A water plantain seen throughout the ditches and fresh water bayous and bogs around Houston, Texas. The leaves are more sword-like than the "arrow" shape found in Common Arrowheads. Not showy, the small, sequential 3-petal blooms sit atop knee-high stalks.

Sheldon Lake State Park, Texas.

I've always been stunned by the glittering sparkles on my African Violet's petals.

This is one from the archives.

Have missed all of my Flickr Friends lately. Life has been so hectic for a very long time.

I purchased the new Canon 7D. Haven't had the chance to get out in the field with it. Hope to very soon.

PS No editing on this one. Just added the frame.

I will try to take a look at everyones images sometime this evening.

Sorry I haven't been up on all of the wonderful images I am sure you all are posting. Don't give up on me I will get back into the groove of things soon. Happy Shooting to everyone!

The title says it all....

This ant actually attempted to pull the flower with him by grabbing the stem; the strong little fellow actually moved it approximately a centimeter.

Take care and stay safe 😊

Taking ICMs of petals and flowers is like surfing over the surface of waves (not that I'd know what that's like!). It's a skimming, a floating, trying to drag out the form of each petal into a silken overlaying of colour, light and shadow. Not too much light and shadow in this one, but the soft pinks are there with a splash of yolk-like yellow in the centre.
