The White Album: The sensual elegance of flowers--up close (from Plantings/WorldSensorium )

https://worldsensorium.com/the-white-album/

Georgia O’Keefe said, “I’ll paint what I see-what the flower is to me but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking the time to look at it – I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.”

To actually look closely at the stunning elegance of flowers is to see one of the most beautiful aspects of nature. The architecture of these botanical wonders is a testament to nature’s boundless creativity and ingenuity.

Each flower, in its own unique way, is a testament to nature’s ability to create astonishing architecture. From the delicate symmetry of a daisy to the elaborate beauty of a hibiscus, these botanical wonders showcase the ingenuity and creativity of our natural world.

So here, all in white, let us marvel at the architectural splendor of flowers, for they are living artworks that have enchanted and inspired humanity throughout the ages. In their delicate petals and intricate structures, we find a profound reminder of the extraordinary beauty that surrounds us, a reminder that even the smallest of organisms can leave us in awe and wonder.


Truly stunning photos of white flowers.

My kind of macro photo, when not doing sunrises and sunsets!
