Oh yes, I like to get really close to the orchids. Really, really close. But it occurred to me that, if I were an orchid and somebody pushed the lens right up to my face to get a macro shot, I would be the first flower ever to instantly shrivel up and wither into an ugly brown stub in a matter of seconds.
Because I need my own private and physical space. As such, I'm really bad with social events and company, especially with people who like to touch and hug. It makes me uncomfortable. (Am I beginning to sound like an anti-social freak? 8D ) I always avoid crowded places. Even at home, most of the time, I like it when I'm alone and left to my own devices.
Lovely focus on this beauty . . as I stared at it, it seems to be trying to ward off your camera with two delicate "arms!" Space . . yes, I like it. Don't like to feel pushed or crowded. I can live with solitude quite well.
I need a mix! Very happy with my own company or in a small group of good friends. Less comfortable in larger or less familiar groups. Hugs? Depends who.
I'm like Jeni... a mix works for me... I am blessed to have a group of very close friends I love like family... I feel like I can be myself without worrying about what they think, and we almost always hug when leaving. I like time alone with my husband. And I also like time alone. But I admit I'm a bit claustrophobic... no tight spaces for me, please. By the way, the photo is gorgeous!
I love the close up of this beautiful character - she has taken on a personality due to this conversation I think. I live in the quiet country so have to agree with space and peace and quiet. But I don't mind closeness if there's an open exchange...and hugs are aok then too.
Beautiful, beautiful colours. A really great macro shot. You do these well. I am a mix too. Definitely like my own space but also love the fun that company brings.
I'm loving these flower pictures from you! They are gorgeous.
As for as being alone, I hate it! I get too lonely and don't know what to do with myself.
Very pretty close up. I feel so sorry for you you can`t have any at your place.
But an old Dutch saying says : Where there is the will you find the road.
Till that time , we have the marvelous picof it
You are really close in this one. I don't like crowds much either, at home with the computer is fine with me. Just love your range of images, so clever and creative.
Beautiful shot and commentary Livia! I must say, I'm enjoying socialising less and less recently, I just don't have the energy for it right now. Maybe this is why I usually have my camera with me, so I can hide behind it when I'm feeling overwhelmed!
Beautiful Shot Livia....great macro work....and you aren't the only person who feels like that...lately I've felt the same way...maybe it's society doing it to us...:)
lucky it didn't lick your lens..I love to be alone...try to have one day a year I call it a day without people..where I see nobody all day.. and it is very difficult to make happen... love to hug my kids!
thank you for you so kind comment. I love when snow is gone. It`s very cold and dangerous to go outside.
Maybe in future you`re able to visit our country , my advice is to do it in summertime. Where do you live now ? ( If you already tells me, sorry I`ve forgotten )
i am alot like you and i like my own space too. I dont care for crowds either....i would much rather stay home. haha. this is a beautiful shot! wonderful details captured...they are such gorgeous flowers.
A big, vibrant, colorful "THANK YOU" to all of you for taking the time to stop by. I'm grateful for your constant support. I'm happy to be sharing my orchid photographs and I had great fun reading all your comments.
