A MISCELLANY OF FLOWER IMAGES

I find the extraordinary variety of shapes, colours and sizes of flowers, wherever they can be found both interesting and fascinating - and the beauty of so many of them wonderful to behold.  Wherever I am I keep my eyes open for opportunities to photograph interesting ones that I come across.  My approach is opportunistic – no plan and no consistency.

Recently, while going through accumulated pictures it occurred to me that sharing some of the images with readers of Pittwater Online News might interest them.  This miscellany of wildly different flower images arose out of those idle thoughts.
