On The Up

This tiny little fungus was almost completely hidden under some bracken. I love the way the cap flows upwards revealing the delicate fins beneath.

In the first image you can see a tiny seed caught between two of the fins and also two tiny little water droplets.

In the second you can just make out the twisted stem.

It is so beautiful.

Roses Are...

...not always red.

Even though I can't accurately say what colour these roses are I love the rich warm tones and highlights and shadows. 

From a distance flowers are wonderful but look closer and there's even more beauty to see with the curls and folds as the petals open.
