While I am addicted to the kingdom Animalia, I must admit to an expanding appreciation for plants.
There is a certain elegant simplicity at their most superficial that masks a magnificent complexity within. While typically more stationary than most animals, aside from the odd breeze, these biologic wonders seem to be more than capable of a vivacity that borders on personality.
I appreciate that I am romanticizing them, but how can you look at the following images and not think that there is something going on. And it’s not the photographer’s talent. They are spectacular, I just captured the spectacle.
- The variegation on the fruit drew me
- There was no murmuring or whispering as in all the books
- The way the shadows danced across the bright petals was magical
- The branch reached to the sky, its leaves embracing the breeze
- Look, ma. No bees in this photo!
