230/365: "As knowledge increases, wonder deepens." ~ Charles Morgan
2 more pictures in notes above! Please visit the other pictures and roll your mouse over the images to see what the full size flower looks like :)
I had more fun with the Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro conversion lens today! :) This time I wandered over to our patch of Bull Thistle, which is almost done blooming. There are a few more flowers in full bloom though, so I took the opportunity to practice taking pictures. I got a lot of images, but the slight breeze was enough to ruin many of my attempts. This one turned out well I think, talk about abstract! Yesterday I was very surprised to find that the tips of the Star Thistle flower bits have beautiful details, so I thought I might find the same on the Bull Thistle flowers. YES!! So amazing what you can see at this magnification, isn't it?! I am constantly amazed at the wonders to see if only we can look closer! :)
Charles Langbridge Morgan (22 January 1894 – 6 February 1958) was an English-born playwright and novelist of English and Welsh parentage. The main themes of his work were, as he himself put it, "Art, Love, and Death",[1] and the relation between them. Themes of individual novels range from the paradoxes of freedom (The Voyage, The River Line), through passionate love seen from within (Portrait in a Mirror) and without (A Breeze of Morning), to the conflict of good and evil (The Judge's Story) and the enchanted boundary of death (Sparkenbroke).
