As I mentioned yesterday, I had in mind a particular shot I wanted of a calla lily.
This wasn’t it, but I’m drawn to the backs of flowers as much as to the fronts, particularly when they’re this beautiful.
Again, thanks to Tim for the light.

Getting close up to flowers with my macro lens can be dangerous, particularly when there are bees around, but I managed to avoid the bees on this rose. The depth of colour in the centre and the delicacy of the outer petals initially drew my attention. And then I noticed the water droplets from the recent rain. So much beauty in one single flower.
This was taken at the Castlemaine Botanic Gardens where the roses were so tall I couldn’t reach most of them.

In Sydney’s Blythe St, a hoarding around a building invites me into another world.
I like Sydney.
I like the parks in the centre of the city, and the gardens at the edges.
I like the expanse of the harbour, and the ferries dotted across it.
I like the iconic buildings and structures, and the mix of old and new – sandstone rubbing shoulders with and being dwarfed by glass and steel.
I like the spaces to sit and eat lunch outside with colleagues or on your own, the breadth of Martin Place.
And I like that Martin Place always brings to mind Les Murray’s An absolutely ordinary rainbow.
It too invites me into another world.

Another shot of the flower from yesterday’s blog – this time with a slightly different composition. To me, this composition shows more of the delicacy of the petals and the tenuous nature of how they’re held together. Similar shot in one way, but a very different story if you look carefully.

I feel it’s time for a flower. This flower is actually pink, but playing around in post-processing I was able to give it a very different look.
