tiny and blue

friendship is like a colourful flower garden
flowers of red and purple, pink, blue and white
some you like best, some just a little bit
with fleeting butterflies and the occasional slug.

the streets are rife with colourful planters and their flowers are soaked in sunshine albeit the wind is quite cold. i passed by a big planter with lots of flowers. this one is just a tiny flower, about an inch in diameter. i cannot believe i got such clear shot. i just cropped this tiny portion from a whole picture.

That's pretty! And you did such a great job taking it if it is that tiny! This is a fav for me. I have never seen this flower and it is so pretty! I want to see it again!

So pretty - I've never seen this flower before!

You got this extraordinary shot because you're an extraordinary photographer with an artistic eye! Simple and as complex as that!! Just beautiful, summerfield. Beautiful color and lighting!
