“Flower,…

…a group commonly called flowering plants…
…or angiosperms….
As popularly used, the term “flower” especially applies…

and form.”

“This week, show us your interpretation of prolific.”
It is still poui season and a poui tree in bloom is certainly prolific! Last week I shared photos of a yellow poui tree. This week it is the turn of a pink poui tree. (I declare my bias in favour of yellow poui trees, but I would never say this out loud in the hearing of any poui tree!)
Masses of blossoms on the tree…
…and on the ground….
Beautiful, even when fallen…
“Taking a photo is an invitation to explore the world around us as if it were new and mysterious. My favorite shots are always the ones that reveal something — a detail, an angle — I’d previously overlooked. They’re the ones that turn the familiar slightly (or very) alien.”
When you get close to flowers, it can be like entering a different world. Hibiscus…
…plumbago…
…orchid….
“Evoke the excitement of entering a new year with a photo that shows growth.”
They hold promise…mango blossoms…
… hibiscus buds…
…like the new year.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Growth
‘This theme is as wide open as the prairie sky. How will you portray “Experimental”?’
I enjoy photographing flowers; they are such colourful subjects. What happens when you take the colour away? Beautiful still!
Diversions, distractions, and delightful detours….What is guaranteed to distract you? What is your “Ooh, shiny!”?
I cannot resist sunlight on things…on flowers…
…on new leaves…
…on lizards’ dewlaps!
“For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, please post a photo that is unusual in some way for you, whether it be through technique, by subject, or in some other unique way.”
