Nature

The trees in the city were shedding their flowers today - carpets of these pink flowers on the pavement around them :)

Love this photo, and the way you managed to get other flowers trailing off into the background is just fantastic.

[Nicole Campbell]

Great shot of the flowers Alia, I like your perspective.

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

The imperfections add to the photo and I, too, like how you got the flowers in the background. Nice depth and color and detail!

[Beth]

I look forward to seeing any kind of flowers again. It is drab around here. This one is a flower I'm not familiar with but I'll bet the trees were beautiful when these were all in bloom.

Pretty close-up! Carpets of these pink flowers, you say? That must be such a beautiful sight!

[Sharon]

is this the real colour of the flowers? How beautiful to walk on a carpet of them! Love that you captured a slightly damaged one, it has so much more to "say". Great shot!

[genevieve]

fab shot . Love the damaged petal.

[cglist]

Wonderful texture and detail!

[alia_801]

@sharonthompson Yep, the flowers really are this colour (if anything, a little brighter - 365 has an annoying knack of desaturating pics). The carpets of them around the trees were pretty :)

[Isabella Thunder]

Very pretty, not sure what you did but it seems to pop out of the photo

[Hope Russell]
