WOW! Beautiful. The delicacy matched by outstanding detail in the right places is perfect. Love the gentleness of the colour as well. Aint nature grand!!!!!!!!!
AngieBel replied
Very happy to get a “WOW”! I struggled with liking this pic for days...anything so orange it seems is a challenge for me to view objectively. I actually came to my pc to delete it, but then thought what a waste of all my to-ing & fro-ing, I should post it just to validate that time…and so here it is!

Very pretty I’ve never seen a flower like it :-)
AngieBel replied
Linda, the flower itself was very easy not to notice…just a splash of colour in a garden. But it was when I took my macro lens to the heart of it that its true beauty revealed itself to me: such a complicated formation lying withing a very simple flower. I LOVE how my macro lens shows me things I would otherwise be oblivious to. Thankyou for you comment :)
Kathy Parker
