For days now, the news are warning us for extreme weather, snowfalls and storms all over the country. And in some parts of Greece this is the case indeed. But not here!
So instead of going out to play with the snow (which never came), I am once again taking pictures of flowers. Not so many as in springtime but still enough to treat you with a post full of them :)
The weather was cloudy and moody so I figured that a macro lens and a bit underexposure was fit for the day. My loyal canon EF 100 mm f2.8L macro lens didn't disappoint me and the wild flowers either!
A little editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic finished the images, although the truth is that they didn't need much editing in the first place.
I don't even now the names of most of those flowers but I am so grateful for their existence. They are humble, insignificant weeds that people pass by without even noticing them but if you care enough to look closer they are such beauties!
The complexity and diversity of their form, is just amazing. I have never regretted a closer look and a few more pictures of them :)
But even the thorns of a prickly pear take a more friendly, even appealing look through the tricks of a macro lens, don't you think so?
I hope that you enjoyed this little tour in the world of the flora around me, through the subjective, yet impressive look of a macro lens. Maybe soon I'll have for you some more descriptive pictures of where I am, so that you can have a better view of the place :)

All the pictures and the words are mine.
