At this time of year, the plants are in all different stages.From just starting to open up...
flowering...
losing petals...
to seed/fruit.
In no time at all, I am not noticing the discomfort and am 'lost' in all the beauty, a kaleidoscope of color, pattern and form. It was fun to see the same plant in the different stages of flowering, all within a small area.
The 'flitting' of birds drew my attention to this bush....
with its delicate flowers...
and ripening fruit.
Insects are going about their business, while I am 'snapping' away with my camera.
Sometimes they are hard to find amidst all the plants....
and sometimes they aren't.
When looked at closely,the designs of the seed heads can be quite intricate...
glistening...
simple...
lacy...
twisty...
bumpy/spiky...
pendulous...
The flowers' colors and shapes were very eye-catching.
Either by themselves...
or combined with others...
the beauty created in nature is uplifting.
Now, I am psyched up to find the 'winter' beauty :-)
