Wrapped in a dream of magenta
Erupts a corona of gold
A dart for a hummingbird heart
Footstones for a honey stream of bees
Pulled deep in a focal decent
Drunk in the hibiscus’ emergence.

This is just beautiful, the pink and the yellow, the blurry and the clear. Wonderful combinations!

Thank you — playing with the depth of field definitely allows the play of colour to be greater. Amazing indeed what colours are inside a plant. Thank you for your great comments.

Thank you. Once you get inside you can see why hummingbirds are drawn to it. Gorgeous.

These colours are just so gorgeous – and how incredible the change in perspective. I love how you see the potential to explore deep into an object or lifeform and find treasures with your lens we would never otherwise know existed! ♥

Thank you! 🙂 It means so much to have a fan like you who sees what my lens sees. Thank you for sharing on my visual journey of discovery with me ….
