Lovely Little Things by taffy

Lovely Little Things

I spent time with my macro today while my computer was at Apple, so I could play photography guilt-free as I couldn't write anyway. My goal was to capture structure for B&W Wednesday but in the end, this was my favorite of the set. I think it is a Corabell plant or something like that. My sister-in-law gave me some clippings from her garden in Baltimore, so this plan has moved from the east coast and is happily growing in the midwest. Countdown to leaving for Michigan is 4 days, so life is getting a bit out of control. Feeling a bit like my scurrying centipede from yesterday!
Gorgeous shot. I love the subtle color in the background and how it plays with the flowers. They really pop, but in an elegant way.

So dainty and brooding at the same time. An interesting mood. Nicely done.

beautiful! I'm impressed that you were able to grow it from a clipping. Good luck with your move!

Thanks for commenting so quickly! And saying such nice things! Packing for 3 months is such a challenge this year because we're carrying so much for Nutmeg -- her wheels and ramp and her 85 pounds pretty much take up the car! So UPS is getting a ton of business from us over the next few days...

Stunning! I especially love the color of the background and the lighting. It has such a richness to it and contrasts beautifully with the delicate blooms. Best wishes for your move!

@stimuloog Thanks Marloes! I know the large view makes them pop more and shows more of the detail. Thanks for taking the time to look at them that way.
