Wild flowers
swaying in the long grass
creating soft smudges of colour
petals gently swirling
beautiful at every stage
in this green garden
of softness.
This charming flower can be found in hedgerows or growing in long grass among other wild flowers.
Its name is Greater Knapweed
and it's a valuable nectar source for insects
and a favourite of many butterflies.
Oh these are lovely shots Sandra, such a pretty wee flower and such a gorgeous colour. Sometimes I think the wildflowers are lovelier than garden flowers.
ReplyDeleteLovely series with the stages so beautifully represented! Purple and green are such a great combination.
ReplyDeleteWow, Sandra! Macro work at its finest! Such soft backgrounds, but sharp details on the flowers, and the faintest petals look like twirling skirts. Lovely colors! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove you new header photo too!
ReplyDeleteLovely soft colors and a very nice serie Sandra,
ReplyDeleteyour work is always very good.

Greetings, Joop
These are all stunning images! You are a master at macro photography! I loved them all, the details and the soft backgrounds. But, the last one made me gasp! Perfect focus that show such wonderful textures!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra - I agree with everyone else, your photos are stunning! Do you know what kind of flowers they are? Their texture and shape is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm glad the cafetiere cosy pattern can be of use to you :) Hx
ReplyDeleteReminds me of our Bachelor Buttons (also known as Cornflower) here in the states. Lovely macros, Sandra. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSandra, your work is incredible. Have you thought of creating a book of your work. It really is special.
ReplyDeleteI also love your new header. Your blog has such a soft peaceful feeling to it. Have a great week.
I love this series, Sandra, especially the last one.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured such wonderful detail there.
Sandra, these are beautiful at every stage, especially with your "soft smudges of color" in the background.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful, and they are truly gorgeous at every stage
