Come Closer (Flutterer)
My “creative art practice” may be be succinctly summed up in the following fantastic metaphorical quote by Kandinsky:
~ “Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key then another to cause vibration of the soul.”

A beautiful and stylish capture. Congratulations on all your well deserved features with this one.
Thankyou Sandra. Yes I was really rapt when I finally got this lovely shot of a ‘single one’ of these fragile ‘floating’ flowers this year . Not so easy to compose when usually there are so many grouped/hanging together and then to contend with a breeze blowing as well.
