another look. another purple aster.

hope they open. you never know.

photograph.
macrophotograph of a purple aster with a yellow-green center. three tiny buds just beneath the the flower... that where the focus is. soft focus yellow green flowers are the background on the right. the dark, dark green shadows are the background on the left.

extra, extra closeup shot of a yellow alstroemeria.
so close it's just an abstract swirl.

photograph.
ultra closeup shot of a yellow alstroemeria flower with dark orange accents. the green center of the flower emerges from the lower right. this flower fills the frame and only a bit of the blue background shows at the top. this close, it becomes an abstraction of yellow and orange swirls.

it definitely does. which is such a great thing to do. i'm going to try and think of something like that to do... to sharpen my creative thinking.

underneath a white begonia.
unexpectedly orange.

photograph.
macrophotograph. i photographed a begonia from underneath. i was so surprised to find orange at the base of the petal. the flower fills the frame with the mostly white petal. a bit of orange at the center. and green stems.

the sun shifted as i was shooting.
suddenly, this yellow alstroemeria's stamens
were casting their shadow on a petal.

photograph.
macrophotograph of a bright yellow alstroemeria with dark red markings. caught just as the sun shifted and the stamens cast their shadow on a single petal. i was a happy witness with a camera! also visible, a green leaf beneath that petal.

howdy, Shiboof.... good to see you. Things are good with me. Recovering well and nearly myself again. when i can hoist a camera, i'm good. ☺️

I completely agree with you about dark flowers. so not what you'd expect. and so overlooked. plus...
the mystery.

asters in the sun.

i restricted my focus to a very small area
to see what it would look like.

like looking through a wet window.

photograph.
macrophotograph of a section of small purple asters with yellow centers surrounded by green leaves and a couple of buds. parts of the asters are being hit by sunlight. above and below them, are a few small orange flowers. i wanted to try restricting my focus to a very small area to see what kind of look i could get. just an experiment. happy to be able to get a 'wet' impressionistic look. like looking through a window, wet with rain. but no drops.

thanks so much, pakula. i'm trying to expand somehow. still not sure how or what. i don't mind. i'm a big fan of searching through the fog. ☺️. that's the best part.
