This was such a Splendid Rose that it caught my eye, and I remembered what a dear friend said to me once about floral photography. She said that floral photography is about capturing and displaying the soul of the flower and that is what I tried to do here. However, my success in is for you to judge.

The male Splendid Wren or Splendid Fairy Wren (Malurus splendens) is definitely a striking and charismatic little bird. Don’t be fooled by his tiny size! This bird has the attitude of an emu….and a voice befitting a choir of other birds. / Where I live, the “blueys” start singing before the sun comes up, at times they are deafening (a strange word to describe their delicate warbling you might think until you experience it for yourself!)....and though I should not complain about the beautiful and melodious sound of their song….....sometimes in the early hours of the morning I really have felt like opening the window and shouting “Give it a rest!”. / Rumour has it that “it is all about procreation” and these sexy little boys spend their days trying to impress the females and chase the other blueys away….only stopping to sing their hearts out again and again…... I followed this little one around the garden to see what it was he had in his beak. He carried it with him for quite some time…..it seemed to be a small pink flower….maybe a gift for his little mate – the female wren who was guarding the nest….? Or maybe for the mistress he had on the side!!!

/ CLICK THIS IMAGE TO READ MORE ABOUT IT! BONUS COLLAGE! What you see here is one of several works of art to be posted over the next seven days – the results of a seven day smackdown between myself, and the fabulous Angi Sullins and Silas Toball – where Angi made a traditional collage, and then gave it to Silas and I, letting us loose on it with our photoshop skills. :) For this one – I was really draw to one element in particular, in the original collage. Some orange detailing that made me think of goldfish, or koi. I couldn’t get the image out of my head… no matter that the whole focus of the original collage was BUNNIES! LOL So, instead of following the white rabbit, and dove into the lily pond with the fishies. Here is the original collage: (TO BE POSTED MOMENTARILY)
