My friend Thea Walstra lives across the ocean in Holland. We have never met or even spoken, but we’re well acquainted here on Redbubble. I admire Thea because she is endlessly observant and creative. She takes very fine photos and always gets the plant names right. She is mathematically inclined and employs truly difficult programs to generate her amazing fractals.
Here is her photograph of a peachy rose colored alcea rosea with the sun shining through the petals.
