thats beautiful – i just love geraniums.
and i’m glad to have learned so much more about columbines. I have a few, tho they don’t want to seem to self-seed in my garden.LikeLike

Kate, I’m totally in love with this image! It’s perfect – your best yet. It makes me think of Georgia O’Keeffe. The light coming through, the deep purple color and the composition – wow! The quotation is just right too. How lucky you are to have such beauty in your garden and how skilled you are to capture it. Good to see you back to posting more frequently.

How gorgeous!!
I love the color(s)–really a fantastic shot!
Isn’t it amazing that the most perfect scenes are those some never look for–like what hides in the center of a flower!LikeLike

I’ve recently learned to enjoy flowers closer-up, probably because I’m growing increasingly nearsighted. It may also be because my climate supports fewer and fewer of the traditional flowers I grew up with. For me, the sense of awe comes from the realization that the flower has such a short life for something so lovely.
