The photo above is a macro shot of a plant in my garden: the Maori Maiden Flax

Here is another of the complete plant.

Amazing what we find when we look closely !!

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

    1. The leaves are stunning when you really get up close – after seeing this (which I had no idea was so beautiful until I took the photo) I am on a mission with other plants now…

  7. I gotta hand it to ya, those variations in color are much more pronounced in your first photo, and it certainly is something I miss…. but I find I often miss the beauty because I’m wrapped up in the mundane.

  10. Less is more, just like the tiny are great. Look at tiny invisible microorganisms that can cause such havoc! I almost decided to go into electron microscopy, but hey, I almost decided to do a lot of things. :p

  12. Unbelievable!! Totally agree with the fact that one sees a great more depth and beauty in each, when you watch closer. Absolutely loved it. Only yesterday I stumbled upon A RIVER OF STONES and am already beginning to enjoy through all the posts. Thank you for sharing.
