From within, everything shines with its own little light. You just have to stop, pay attention, and look closely sometimes.
Orchidée, which is French for orchid. / Taken in macro mode with my faithful Canon A75. I was really surprised this morning to discover that the bloom had opened during the night. That is how quickly the change was from one day to another. Flower shot in front of a window to let the light illuminate it from the back. Top ten placement in the orchid challenge, for the One Single Flower on Show group, April 20096

I don’t know why but I just keep coming back to this blossom image.
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” / ~Revelation 21:5a This is so comforting, especially when we are stuck in a position in life we never thought we’d be in. My hope is that this image will comfort and encourage you! Photomanipulation created in Photoshop CS2 Stock credit: / Wall texture by Adaee-Stock

This is a blue version of Hive, a recent photo I made which was part of an experimental series showing the television screen seen through various objects used in the living room. This one is a macro shot of a bundle of drinking straws, aimed at the TV. Obviously, the screen was showing something blue! The actual straws measure less than 5mm in diameter. I used a shorter focal length for this one, and we can see more of the straws in it.

This beautiful, light pink rose would be the shining star in any landscape or indoor setting! / ELLE is favored amongst most florists, and its’ buds are the perfect attraction for any corsage, bouquet, or basket.

The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with hairless to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low-growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colourful and attractive cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule.
