Surprises, it seems, never come alone. Sometimes they are nice, most often they are not. It so happens that on this particular day, at this particular moment, surprises were nice, which is a rare thing for me.
This flower was near the one shown yesterday. Since this is a macro shot, we are very, very close. We are so close that the plant is certainly difficult to recognize. But the point of going this close is not to see something that we can recognize, quite on contrary; we want to see something different, something unexpected, something we are not used to see.
Macro lenses are wonderful in that they allow the protographer to see the world in a different and, sometimes, unexpected way.
Our color for today is a shade of peach (code #F7D1C8).
