Some flower from last summer. I really need spring now. Today it start to snowing again and in the end of the week we get very cold here.
Hope you like it. Thanks to all who view and comment. I really do appreciate it.
This is so beautiful, Mariana! It looks like the light is coming from the flower! I like the way the background's gentle blues and greens are soft and the center of the flower is so sharp. I like the minimal gold frame too.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

This is deep Mariana!! A true masterpiece you've captured!! Rich tonalities and details excude and the glowing light playing behind really makes this baby sing!!
Open your mouth and say "ahhhh" :) I hate it when people say "best seen close up"...I know, I know, I say it too, but I'd have to make an exception here...as beautiful as it is in thumbnail it's no match for putting it to the test in full size, or even on a desktop ...what a novel idea..love it..right into my flower folder. Gorgeous work.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life.
