As you know I like to get close to things, and I chose a Petunia which has been growing in one of my containers on the patio for this one. I was so attracted to its deep rich colours and the intricate veins spreading through the petals like ink stains on blotting paper.

Getting that close really does change things! My guess would not have been a petunia if you hadn’t mentioned that. It almost looks like a pretty, colorful feathers. Think I need to start looking a bit closer. 😊

Sometimes getting a different perspective can almost make something quite abstract. It is always good to experiment 🙂
