The theme for the Fun Foto Challenge this week is something that reminds us of nature’s beauty.
I seem to recall from my distant days as a Philosophy undergraduate that there is quite some debate as to whether ‘beauty’ exists anywhere other than the eye of the beholder. However, it’s hard to argue against the view that this hydrangea – a recent addition to our garden- fits the bill on this occasion.

Some tiny creature obviously took a fancy to this clematis bud before it got the chance to flower.

After a rainy night, this clematis bud was well soaked.

This is a close-up view of the intricate flower of a Mediterranean Spurge, a plant I had never seen – or even heard of – before, but which is growing strongly in my son’s garden.
To give an idea of scale, the green ovoid disc of which the flower is at the heart is no more than a centimetre (about a third of an inch) in diameter.

I don’t know what this bit of flora is called. It looks like a succulent of some kind and I saw it in the town of Cahors. It is definitely all one colour though.

It’s macro week in Cee’s ongoing midweek challenge.
This is another image captured on my iPhone using the Halide photo app, which features what I think is a pretty impressive macro capability.

This was the last photo I took with my smartphone, in my daughter’s back garden yesterday afternoon.
I admit to having tidied it up a bit, but I just can’t help myself…

Not that I’ve ever given the matter much thought, but I was genuinely surprised to see that the cucumber plants in our serre were flowering.
Although since they’re planted next to the courgettes, which even I know have flowers, I really ought to have realised.
To be honest, I was just attracted by the water drops.
