macro-beautiful

Perspective: Always try to have the bigger picture to grasp it all. But sometimes you have to stoop low and lay down near the grass to feel the real picture.

Marigold

Chandigarh Crafts Mela - organic flowers!

One of the attractions from the NE stable were flower stalks for home decor. But the flowers were completely made from soft wood, wood flakes and dried peepal leaves.

Saw this 'immensely' large pink rose during my trip to Munshiyari, Pithoragarh.

Known as Gulmohar( in Hindi), this is a very common flower... but commonality does not take away the beauty and awe it commands....

Orchids......

Spring comes to St.Louis

It's as if there's still winter... these trees had blossomed with only white blooms... so white, still reminescent of the snow... in a few days, all the blooms just blew away, leaving behind stark nudity.....

The last time I was at St.Louis, it was all white everywhere, all the time... but this visit was different... I got a bevy of colours.. a visual feast which started with white first, then unfolded with innumerable servings.....

Even the fields were in bloom............
Just outside the hotel, I captured the "cluster" .... purple in all levels of contrast....

And there are still more..... :)..
