taking time to…shoot the flowers

Somebody recently asked me what my hobby is.  And I replied to them…”Well, it’s photography”.  They said, “Well, isn’t that your profession?”  And I said, “Well…yeah, but there is a ton of different things out there to photograph”.  So photography can still be a hobby even though it is my profession in the way that you can tinker around with it and photograph things you don’t normally do on a daily basis.  Take flowers for example…for some reason I love to photograph flowers as my side hobby.  I think what I love about flowers is that the closer you see them the more amazing works of art they are.  God must have spent a lot of time when he was making flowers.  All of the intricate details that flowers develop.  Layers of texture and pattern, color palettes and intricacies of the petals.  I know…I am going a little overboard.  But i find it absolutely amazing that there is so much beauty in such a small package.  Just some food for thought.  Here are some flowers I picked up at Central Market…can’t remember what they are called, but they look like a cross between a rose and…something.  Maybe you know.
