Today’s photo is from the same Amaryllis plant as yesterdays. This image is not as powerful or as abstractly intriguing as yesterdays but it’s one I like none-the-less.

I’ve found when photographing flowers I’m drawn to seeking out the buds which are ready to burst into bloom — there’s some essences of energy present in these that’s almost tangible. Perhaps they represent a moment of birth or a moment when potential is recognized.

As you should be able to tell, there’s no common theme for posted photos this week — this is a random week. From the bridge image of the last post I’ve moved to a macro abstract of flowers.

Just before Christmas last year my wife had purchased a red Amaryllis bulb with the idea of having big red blooms for Christmas. We however were not aware of the extended 6 to 8 weeks gestation period before the first bloom so by lack of any other choice it became our Valentine’s Day Amaryllis. That worked out okay since the flowers are bright red.
