Macro Monday

Matilda poppy, taken at the San Diego Zoo. I think the petals look like paper, instead of a real flower. It's real, I promise.


Now, go visit Lisa, to see who else played today.

This is so stunning! I thought the poppy looked like some soft folds of white cotton material with a spikey pom pom in the middle! Amazing how a macro stirs the imagination!

I was thinking "paper" too! Really great detail in this shot.

I love the detail.

The petals DO look like paper. I see a hundred little dancers gliding in the center. :)

Great shot. I really like this poppy. I like how large they are.

I'm very fond of poppies. I don't think I've seen one like this before. Are you sure it's real? (Only kidding!)
