Each of the photograph above of flowers and a plant has something that stands out when closely observed!
The first has its biography of earlier flowers, current flower, a bud waiting to pen and buds in formation. It carries a generational history.
It has a spider hiding on the flower that is withering.
The second is a plant with spurting leaves and a bud in the centre withe the dew of the night giving a decorated look to the leaves. The leaves themselves look colourful and gorgeous in the morning sunshine.
The third photo of a jasmine bunch of buds with one flower about to open gives a surprising colour contrast. The flower in a white complexion and the buds in another shade of white.
Anna tells me that with only few birds visiting our garden in the recent weeks, I seem to spend more time with plants and flowers. That is probably true. May be it brings a new understanding about the richness in plants and flowers.
Even leaves have a durable look in the morning sun! The photo below fascinated me because the hue of colours in the leaves before the colour contrast would become distinct in few days, gave me an exposure to the transitions in the morphology and colours that take place in plants. They occur unnoticed often.
I felt refreshed by these sights because what happens around us in the plant life are so rich and inspirational. What is not large or obvious does not get noticed unless one is intentional to observe.
The plants communicate as much as birds through their silent presence, hue of colours and nourishing life they bring to bees and butterflies !
The design on these leaves held my attention. What a sight of amazement! It was when I used a magnifying glass, I got to see the intimate designs on the leaf with the edge of leaf looking sharp giving it its shape.
I feel that a sense of wonder and amazement was what I needed to feel lifted up to behold nature through another optic of openness!
