Thursday’s Special: Bliss – Photo 101

 

Rhapsody in blue
“Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.” – Marcus Aurelius

This Thursday I decided to combine my usual event Thursday’s Special with this month’s #photo101 project. Cheri asked us to include captions in our post, as well as alternative text and description of the scene. For the rest of the month I will (try to) merge my Thursday’s Special event with the Photo 101 assignment for that day. I will be happy, if you join me. Remember, for my event you can come up with your own special theme. Happy Thursday!

    All those gentle folding pathways at the heart of the flower are provocations to thought. Is your insect covered in pollen? Purpose almost achieved if so. That wonderful blue is a colour I find almost impossible to photograph. Another beautiful triumph Paula.

        Happy to be back, and thanks for hosting. I’m really takenwith your blue flower photo – is it a morning glory or some sort of “trumpet” flower – sorry, my vocabulary with flower names is limited. Thanks for your kind words about my heron’s autumn scene. Best, Babsje
