When you are a budding plant biologist, you see spring time a bit differently, although with no less appreciation for the inherent beauty in a flower. It's just that, those flowers, they evolved for a purpose: reproduction. And, woo boy, are those angiosperms frisky. Each week, it seems, a new plant sends out its flowers in hopes that a potential pollinator may buzz its way over, and carry some pollen off to meet another flower. Thinking about the fact that the whole purpose of a flower is to reproduce somehow makes it even more astonishing that they can be so beautiful. Here is a selection of my flower images from the past few weeks. Shot on film, with my Hasselblad 500 C/M.
It's so wonderful to see your photos this big! There are so many details I'd missed on Flickr! Those pinks are incredibly deep and beautiful! Love them!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I can't believe you called plants frisky! That's awesome!
Thanks, Anne! Aren't those pinks intense? It's that Ektar! ...and frisky was the polite way to put it, hah.
DeleteI have some serious love for those rainy day shots...it's so nice to see them all together in a set. So lovely :)
