I rather regret that my leek plants bolted this year but still I harvested and ate what I could, cutting off the scapes* and placing them in water. Their forms so elegantly lithe and then days and days later, the flowers burst out –
- a long flower stalk coming directly from a root.

These “three” are my favorites of your photos Ever. But that’s personal, subjective of course. Going-to-seed is very meaningful to me right now. These images reveal the beauty implied. Leastwise that’s my stance.
thank you – they strike a chord as we age Neil –
Yep. Too bad we don’t oft learn to see “more bigger” more early in life.
ah but we might lose that joie de vivre of youth otherwise
Beautiful. You remind me that I should pick up my macro lens.
did a bit of zooming with the Canon – being quite heavy it could do with the tripod for closer still

thank you x
I especially like that middle picture!
I think that maybe because it has a flat finish which you often favour in your photos 😉
Ah, you might be right. That’s very observant of you!
