Kaleidocinth


Day 178: In a deviation from my customary nature photography, today's exercise began as a simple Grape Hyacinth poking its innocent head up from a clump of Dianthus. Viewed side on, the colors and textures of the leaves intrigued me, the tiny white tips on the blossoms so delicate, and the whole flower an essay in geometry. Seen from the top down, the mathematic formula of the flower is apparent, but in lateral perspective, it begged for kaleidoscopic intervention. Besides, it hides the weeds.
