The gentle folds of this delicate rose took my eye as the backlighting caught the textures of the petals.

Welcoming the morning sun…
I think I have gone a bit ‘macrotastic’ lately! These are some Osteospermum, again a member of the daisy/sunflower family. I’ve included the black and white image as thought it best showed the fractal pattern of this seemingly simple flower 🙂
Wake up little sleepy head…
The onset of spring has made me feel like a little kid in a sweet shop – everywhere I look there are flowers or buds I want to make images of. I have a current fascination with members of the daisy family that open and close with the rhythm of the sun. This little daisy hadn’t as yet had the full benefit of the sun and its warmth as was taken early in the morning…
Reaching for the spring light…
The light is changing with the welcoming in of an early spring. I think these are a type of Michaelmas Daisy (about 1 cm in size)?
‘I wandered lonely as a cloud…’
Last week I got to see paddocks full of Daffodils – hence the title which is of course from William Wordsworth. Many thanks to Gus, who owns the property and to my friend Liz for taking me there! Taken very late afternoon, just before sunset.
Cherry plum blossom…
Spring is early – early delicate blossoms.
Raindrop…
The ornamental Quince after some rain…
A simple Freesia.
Freesia are one of my favourites…their simple form and beautiful smell are one I hold dear…
Austr-alien flower!
Whilst the northern hemisphere is experiencing heatwaves, here down under, winter continues on for a little longer (which I confess I enjoy!). I saw these flowers at the greengrocer on Saturday and was immediately drawn by the incredible red and what seems an almost alien form. These are Banksia coccinea, and are native to the south coast of Western Australia. The many forms of different Banksia amaze me with each flower head made up of many individual flowers.
