Mother Nature never fails to amaze me with the wide variety of beauty that she bring to us over and over and yet with fresh glimpses here and there. I love this pic and it's in my flower fave folder. The shapes and colors alone are enough to keep me gazing at this one!
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
OK, forgive me but this is simply the sexiest photo of a flower I've ever seen. (Perhaps that should be "sexiest flower I've ever seen in a photograph. lol.) Never seen anything that looked so luxuriously soft without being blurred. Fantastic photography.
