Fall Flower Walkabout | a 7 Image Story Summer flowers will be gone soon as fall weather gets colder and brings the season’s first snow. It’s their last few weeks of beauty until next spring. A nice macro lens or extension tube captures their detail. It may be late in the season, but plant life continues if the weather remains warm enough. Even in the fall, some flowers open by unfolding their tightly folded petals to reveal their inner beauty. Flowers look different when viewed close up. The extension tube allows us to see the detail veins in beautiful flowers. Sometimes flowers look rougher the closer they are viewed. Sometimes, the opposite is true. Sometimes they look smoother close up. Bees also keep working late in to the season. Protect the bees. We need them much more than they need us. A beautiful flower provides both the food and the table for a bee. It’s a nice trade in exchange for pollinating the flowers. Fall finally turns the landscape into textured tans and browns.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Fall Flower Walkabout.
