"Reflecting" on Nature
The flowers in the backyard put me in a "reflective" mood. While I usually don't like to shoot photos of nature outside its natural habitat, the temptation to examine these minuscule beauties more closely and appreciate the intricate detail that lend them their resplendence was too much. So, with just a couple of plucked flowers, I took a closer look.
It is such a tiny flower, but there is just so much detail that goes into its stamens, pistils, and pollen, which is what keeps it propagating for millennia.
These tiny yellow flowers look so delicate and fragile, but maintain their proud presence adorning the yard so well.
And the water that nourishes the flowers and all of nature is in such harmony, with the texture of its petals providing just the right perch (one could get into engineering mode and start talking surface tension, Cassie and Wenzel states, hydrophobic and hydrophyllic surfaces, etc., but that would ruin a good thing!)
And then there is the Georgia Tech yellow jacket that is attracted to all of this action and comes over to take a peek!
This little glass beauty in harmony with the flower was actually a gift from a very special person, brought with a lot of meaning all the way from Venice, Italy! Seems right at home in Atlanta!
