Euphoric over Euphorbia

Spring is definitely in the air - even if it was a bit of a grey day in Paris on Friday. I went to catch some photos of the pink magnolias near the Eiffel Tower, but they're not fully in bloom yet. However, I liked the way these euphorbias were stretching up towards the light and the Tower.

This is wonderful. Euphorbia is such a sculptural plant. Fave

I had only seen a little of the top of the photograph, and I said to myself, I bet this is Isobels posting.

Very nicely composed shot, love the out of focus contrast to the subject.
