Muddled Blossom by maggiemae

Muddled Blossom

Our tree is covered in blossom and in the middle of winter, this is not the right time. I think we had a spell of good warm weather late autumn after a cool summer and its got it's mind muddled!

Three good things:
1. I'm controlling exposure with speed on my settings and its much better than using automatic.
2. My flamenco class will be good for my posture - its like Tai Chi with guitar.
3. Good sleeps
I've had that happen a couple times too with lilies coming up in late fall because of a warm spell. Crazy nature! Flamenco dancing? You never cease to amaze me!!

Exactly the same thing has happened here and now this morning our first frost has arrived to wake them up to their mistake. I'm wondering what will happen in Spring.

Tai chi with guitar?! Love it!

wow there's so much detail in your macro maggie
June 17th, 2014  
Interesting shot. Great detail.

Well done! Maggiemae! You got a terrific shot of this muddled flower!
June 17th, 2014  
That is so neat
June 17th, 2014  
Great capture. Great sleeps would be at No.1 for me.

Wonderful macro with gorgeous light! Very unusual plant! Good sleep is what I hope for every night but very rarely achieve!

Pretty
June 18th, 2014  
So pretty.. and such a shame it is muddled..

@cheribug Yes, it won't last long in the cold we are having now and will probably mean no blossom in the Spring! Thanks for popping in, Cheryl!
June 18th, 2014  
Lovely capture, we have the same problem this side of the ditch.
June 18th, 2014  
Not just plant are confused with season, Tai Chi with guitar?
June 18th, 2014  
A lovely shot Maggie and I see you are rather busy!! I'm back in the city and have internet again so lots of catching up to do. :-))

@yaorenliu I'm not confused, Yao - practicing my hand movements while viewing 365 photos!
June 18th, 2014  
looks like spring time for you
hope the trees and plants are fine

@glendq Only the blossom thinks its Spring, Glenda! June is our first month in winter and there are icy winds and frosts to come!
June 18th, 2014  
I have never seen one of these. Good shot
June 18th, 2014  
Beautiful close-up and great textures. So not only people get muddled.
June 18th, 2014  
Much of what is my garden at the moment is confused as well. The passionfruit vine is laden with fruit that won't ripen.... I love this capture
June 18th, 2014  
Beautiful and interesting shot. Flamenco?--how cool. Love to watch flamenco dancers but would have to go to San Juan to see that again :-) Don't know of any places around here.
June 18th, 2014  
Flamenco sounds so cool! Nice detail on the flowers!
June 18th, 2014  
Great shot, flamenco sounds like fun. What's the secret of great sleeps. I'm still an insomniac, so weary
June 18th, 2014  
Lovely light and flowers Maggie...Fav
June 18th, 2014  
what kind of plant is this? i thought you slaughtered a pig or something! :-)
June 18th, 2014  
It does look a bit like that, Vikki, but I'm not the slaughtering kind! @summerfield
June 18th, 2014  
Looks lovely on black....shame it's going to get a big shock! I don't know that tree but the blossom is quite unusual that it hangs downwards.
We can learn Flamenco at the village centre.....where are my castanets?

@pamknowler I"ve found that in the middle of the night, Pam, the mind is very active going over what has happened as well as planning! Its all quite useless because it doesn't include reasoning which is what happens during the day. I try to shut that side off and start thinking of what I would really love to do - like lying in a sunlit spot in the middle of a forest listening to birds!
June 19th, 2014  
@maggiemae I will try that Maggiemae - Just can't switch off my brain!! Then I start thinking about what photos i would like to get - big mistake!! When i finally wake up in the morning i have forgotten what I planned - i suppose I should write it down!! LOL!!
June 19th, 2014  
Very nice shot
June 19th, 2014  
Strange weather sometimes has strange effects, I guess. Love the light and texture in this shot.
June 20th, 2014  
Beautiful light and color...hope it will survive another season!
June 20th, 2014  
Wow what a beautiful capture Fav
June 20th, 2014  
Lovely shot
June 20th, 2014  
Poor confused tree, but it makes for a good photo!
