This week, on Lens-Artists Challenge #145, guest host Scillagrace challenged everyone with the topic of Getting to Know You.
I am someone who likes to get up and personal with plants. This may sound weird but get up and personal allows me to see them in a new perspective. This allows me to see the yellow center which I don’t normally see with a pair of ordinary human eyes especially when the flowers are as small as lavender.
I am also someone who likes a good escape, to see nature, to pretend (even for a minute) that I don’t have a hectic job and a bunch of people needing my attention. Those moments of escapes always bring me wonderful landscapes to be marveled later.
Finally, I am someone who loves spring. It feels like it’s the time to start anew, to work toward new goals, and a time when anything is possible.
Lovely post Yinglan – especially loved your closing image.

ah. I feel you. I loved the macro of the lavender. Almost hard to guess. A nice collection.

Thank you. I feel I should’ve taken an updated version of the lavender this week because the color intensified so much after taking it outside. Sadly, most of the flowers have wilted.
