Flower close in shots Beautiful and Sublime

This is an entry for Beautiful Sunday By @ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created by @c0ff33a, and this week I am going to share a few flower shots but this time getting close in and personal with them.

Starting with this first shot and I won't even try to say what type of flowers are featured in this post, I am terrible at remembering names of anything including people, I am so bad with names I call most people mate to hide that I have forgotten their name, weird thing is I am great with numbers I can remember just about everyone's phone numbers but never their name.

A came across this poem that I thought fitted wel with these shots
a poem that I think goes well with this first shot

They have no mouth, but seem to speak
A thousand words so mild and meek.

They have no eyes , but seem to see
And bury thoughts into me.

They have no ears, but seem to hear
All my cries, my every tear.

They have no arms, but seem to pat
When with worries my heart is fat.

They have no feet, but seem to walk
Along with me in my dreams and talk.

They, I know, are the flowers so nice
That spread their fragrance a million miles.

Grow a few and then you'll know
How your life is fresh and new.

With a smile so broad, I thank my God,
Whose work to imagine is really too hard.

Like I said getting up close and personal with these shots :)

Often we get fixated on the big things in life such as a whole flower na dmiss the wonderful detail when you look in closer at the finer details.

Now although not the greatest of shots this next one is my favorite probably just for the lovely blues and subtle boken of the tiny drops of wate ron it.

Gorgeous shots, @tattoodjay! The pinks are so vibrant. I love the water droplets on that first one.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks Kindly, I cheated with those water droplets, and used a little water bottle spritzer thingy

[jayna]

Well it certainly achieved a nice effect. And it also calls to mind a song! "Raindrops on roses, and whisker on kittens..."

Thanks and that is a cool song

I can see why the blue one is your favorite.

When I first started seeing macro shots of flowers years ago, I was amazed at all the detail that was there, that my eyes had never seen. Such a beautiful world close up.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks Kindly, yes its a whole new world when you focus on the details

Fits me to a tee. I just recently took an interest in my wife's garden and suddenly I am seeing flowers everywhere. In fact my blog of late is almost all about her garden and the marvel I have felt as I began to be aware of what's in it.

Lovely photos btw.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks, My dad was a great gardener, I didnt get the green thumb from him, but i am hoping to find a house when we move with space for at least a little garden I would like to try again as a little spot in my dads memory :)

_{Posted with}

[gems.and.cookies]

Yes, that'd be great. Hoping you do find that house soon.

[tattoodjay]

Probably will start looking in 3 or 4 months once the final payments come in and the pension kicks in

[gems.and.cookies]

House hunting will be a really cool topic for a post. Hope you do one and walk Steemit to the housing market in your place :)

[tattoodjay]

Thats a good idea i may well do that :)

[gems.and.cookies]

Looking forward :)

[nikolina]

Love the close ups and the different colors of the flowers.

I am so bad with names I call most people mate to hide that I have forgotten their name

This made me laugh! :D

[tattoodjay]

Thanks, I am lucky its a Kiwi thing Most of of call people Mate, or maybe most Kiwis are also bad with names because we say Mate all the time instead of peoples names LOL

[fotosdenada]

Nice macro work. It looks like you're still putting that lens to good use. Very nice color and texture in those flowers!

I'm terrible with names, as well. Might have something to do with my vision loss, though.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks, these were taken back in warmer weather the Macro has not got to much use over the last couple of months
