Are any words needful....I think not.

I just love watching this sequence! Another of our Australian native everlasting daisies.
If you are interested you can learn more about these fascinating flowers and see a similar sequence showing the hourly opening of three more mature daisies and also a seven week sequence following the development of a single everlasting daisy. Have a lovely day!

    That was amazing to scroll through! Not only can you see the flower slowly opening but the lighting so subtly changes as well. You have inspired me to try to find something similar to do!

    I have absolutely fallen in love with your work, but I think I told you that last week. These progressions are the most stunning and wonderful for the flower lover imaginable. You are certainly an expert and the best at what you do. I need to take the time and just go back through you blog entry by entry. It is going to be a thrill for me. Genie

    I really like this series of photos. The lighting on the later ones is very nice. This would be a cool flower to do a time lapse shot and string them together and animate it.

    I too love to capture HIS beauty in nature. Your series of time lapse photo are incredible. What a gift you have. The opening/closing of the flower is stunning and the lightning you have captured is beyond beautiful. All I can say is How Great Thou Art and Praise Him for your incredible gift of showcasing His beauty. Your photography is so inspirational.
