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.

little, orange, and spiky.
that's not a law firm.
it's one of an ornamental bunch of flowers marked 'autumn.'.

photograph.

macrophotograph of a small orange flower. a ball of orange. very spiky. the bucket it came from just called it Autumn. seems about right. in the background... a purple aster and a variety of green leaves.

the flooding light turned this small purple aster
ghostly. wish i could say 'a whiter shade of pale.'
but i can't.

photograph.

macrophotograph of a tiny purple aster. backlit and also sunlight hitting the top. dark green leaves. against a light grey background with spot of golden yellow behind the flower.
