Will Thompson: “Two Roses”
Canon 5DIV, EF 50mm F 2.5 Macro

I found this on my iPhone and realized it would be superb for starting a thread on outstanding flower portraits.

It has no exif and I had no recall of that picture.

Well it appears that it’s from a camera I don’t own, LOL and Will Thompson must have sent it to me 2 years ago!
 
Very pretty work. To me, flowers are always holding beauty in their ephemeralness! :) <3 Maggie

WOW! That is an awesome shot.

I must apologize, I started a new job 2 weeks ago and I haven't been posting. But I have been shooting a lot of birds in my yard 🤣

This includes the bg from Holmby Park with part of the joy of walking there.

Again, the background of the parks trees is important to me. This presence of huge trees and seasonal flowers makes the park delightful!

A mostly unwelcome flower but a symmetrical one.

My children and grandkids were always mesmerized the these white dandelion puffs of seeds!

They would bend down, and blow hard and send a cloud of seedlings flying off in the air!

Actually, no “flower” gives more pleasure to parent, grandparents and little kids!
