Worlds within Worlds

I often think we do not take the time to really look at things. While resting on our recent holiday, I saw a flower in the distance and decided to give it a complete look. We all recognize the beauty it possesses, but with this series of photos I would like to examine the parts that go into making up that beauty. As always, click each photo for a better view.

The original flower


A closer look





















Closer still




and finally worlds within worlds!

And there you have it your own personal Rorschach test, subject only to your interpretation of what you see...

  1. I'm laughing because my interpretation is really off the wall that it resembles a body part!

  2. A body part? ( ref. to Jayne's comment), must be too early for me.. LOL just looks like a stamen to a lily...

  3. Jayne may not be in the minority. What I am struck by is that the other parts of the plant enhance its beauty, and also have their own intrinsic beauty as well.
    Thanks, Cherrie for helping us to look at things a little bit differently. I think it makes all the difference.

  4. I have to laugh with Jayne too because nature has nothing on Picasso!

  5. I know, teeth in the vagina is an old fantasy... Surely, my Freudian education is to blame for that "obvious" interpretation, but I pledged to be honest with you, always.
    (No offense to your other readers, I hope).

  6. Well... no teeth. My vision was numerous breasts. Made me understand why some native societies carve those fertility dolls with huge or numerous breasts because to some extent it occurs in nature. This has been an interesting exercise.

    Sorry it took me so long to moderate but my speaking engagements have dramatically increased and cut into my blog time.
