I Heart Macro


Tulips are my very favorite spring flowers.  There are a myriad of varieties and colors to delight the senses.  When they are fully open, the center is revealed in all it's glory.  Sometimes it is even more beautiful than the outside of the bloom, which is always a surprise to me.

Isn't that a lot like people?  We come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes, each beautiful in their own way.  But take a look on the inside and you will see the real beauty.  It's something to remember when we meet people and make new friends, or are down on ourselves because we just don't like how we look.  What is on the inside is more important than what is on the outside.

I'm joining Lori at Studio Waterstone for I Heart Macro.

    You take the most amazing photos. Blogspot changed their format and I lost track of some of the blogs I was following so haven't seen yours for a little bit. That sorted, I can see your gorgeous photos phone again.

    Amazing photo! It looks like the inside of the flower has it's own secret flower.

    I love your simile between the amazing beauty within the heart of a flower and the beauty within the heart of a person.

    The macro photo is really astounding.

    Lovely Shot :)

    Tulips are such an amazing flower :)

    I have been doing a photo study of my Tulips as they whither and it is amazing to see them from that perspective too, still beautiful in their own right.

    Have a lovely day, cheers, T. :)
