Snow-drops by Leanne LindsaySnow-drops by Leanne Lindsay
It was a bright sunny day, and I was out and about doing some macro-photography at some nearby botanic gardens. These snowdrops caught my eye - the way they swayed in the breeze and glistened in the sunlight. I knelt down to get a closer look. Snowdrops are some of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and they are a symbol of hope and new beginnings. The white flowers are delicate and beautiful, and the green spots on the petals add a touch of interest. I took a few photos of the snowdrops, and then I moved on to find other flowers to photograph. But the image of the snowdrops stayed with me. They were such a beautiful reminder of the beauty of nature. Snowdrops are perennial bulbs that are native to Europe and western Asia. The flowers are white with green markings on the inner tepals (sepals). The green markings are thought to help to attract pollinators.
Cherry Blossoms in Brown by Leanne LindsayCherry Blossoms in Brown by Leanne Lindsay
I was out taking macro photos at the Auburn Botanic Gardens during Cherry Blossom season and the cherry blossoms were everywhere! I couldn't resist zooming in on this one beautiful bloom. The blossom in the photo is a perfect example of the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms. The petals are a soft pink color, and they are arranged in a perfect circle around the center of the flower. The center of the flower is a cluster of yellow stamens, which are the male reproductive organs of the flower. The background of the photo is blurred, which helps to draw the viewer's attention to the flower in the foreground. The blur also creates a sense of depth in the photo. I love taking macro photos of flowers because it allows me to see the details of the flower that I wouldn't be able to see with the naked eye. This photo is a reminder of the beauty of spring and the fleeting nature of flowers. Cherry blossoms only bloom for a short time each year, but their beauty is a joy to behold and celebrated around the world.
Silent Secrets by Giampaolo Antoni
Alone and far away, yet in a relationship with the whole, they are mindful of events that have taken place around them. They keep silent secrets that will never be spoken.
